Matt Nathanson - Miracals Lyrics
They built a hero out of expectations and what a hopelesshero was hewith sticks for legs he shook when the wind blew, evenslightlyand he welcomed the smiles, he welcomed the applauseand he hoped that they'd never forget just who they thoughthe wasthey dressed him up in rich man s clothes and told him hewas beautifulthen they expected miraclesHis parents were pleased they went to all the partieshe was groomed for greatness from the time he was youngraised on a diet of television he was taught to listen, keptdumband he welcomed desire and reckless luxuryand the world soaked up every drop of drama and insecuritythey dressed him up in rich man s clothes and told him hewas beautifulthen they expected miraclesand then one day his admirers just quit himthey packed up their paint and were goneand he stood alone, their beautiful disaster, wondering werehe'd gone wrongand he wanted the smiles and he wanted the applausebut no one would look him in the eye now, no one returned hiscallsthey dressed him up in rich man's clothes and told him hewas beautifulthen they expected miracles
