JUPITER


LAST NIGHT I CHASED A VILLIAN TO AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE
WAY DOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN
I DREAMT I WAS THE HERO, WHAT A WAY TO END THE CHASE
I PULLED MY SWORD AND TOOK HIM TO THE GROUND
LYING IN MY SHADOW HE DID WHISPER SOMETHING CLEAR

I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT VILLIAN KNEW MY NAME
AND FOR JUST A MOMENT MY REFLECTION DID APPEAR
THE HERO AND THE VILLIAN ARE THE SAME

HE SAID, ?I MUST TELL YOU, IT?S ABOUT TIME THAT WE MEET?
AND I SAID, ?THERE IS NO NEED TO EXPLAIN, YOU CAN PACK YOUR BAGS TOMMORROW
BECAUSE AS LONG AS YOU ARE HERE I DO BELIEVE MY TROUBLES WILL REMAIN?
I WONDERED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I SHOT HIM IN THE BACK
BUT WHO WAS I TO PUT MY SOUL TO SHAME
SO HE ASKED ME JUST TO FACE HIM OR AT LEAST TO FACE THE FACT
THE HERO AND THE VILLIAN ARE THE SAME

I REMEMBER CHASING JUPITER, YESTERDAY WAS EASIER
IF I SURRENDER HOW CAN I BE SURE IT?S TIME?

THAT HERO CHASED ME DOWN AS IF HE?D TRACKED MY EVERY MOVE
HE TOLD ME HE HAD ONE THING LEFT TO SAY?
?IF IT WASN?T FOR MY FAILURES I WOULD NEVER SEE THE TRUTH?
HE SHOOK MY HAND AND RODE HIS HORSE AWAY
IT DIDN?T GO DOWN EASY LIKE A REMEDY FOR SALE
BUT IF HE KNEW THE PRICE HE?D HAVE TO PAY
WASN?T MADE OF GOLD OR SILVER HE WOULD STILL HAVE MADE THE DEAL?

I REMEMBER CHASING JUPITER?
