Hero to Zero - Foghat

Drinking champagne, eating caviar

Drivin' around town in a big flashy car

Got two hits both at number one

Yeah, everybody says I’m a son of a gun

Got a big mansion on the top of a hill

Flying my jet gives me such a thrill

Got me an island in a great big sea

Yeah, I can see you but you can’t see me

But when the hits stop coming

And the cash begins to dry up

And you change your crystal

For plastic and a paper cup

From hero to zero

The world looks good when you’re at the top

From hero to zero

You feel so bad when you start to drop, yeah

Sitting in your room doing nothin' at all

Can’t use the gold hangin' on the wall

Thinking ‘bout times when you used to be

Now the bubble’s burst and it’s plain to see

How the mighty fall

When they know they’re on the way down

You were hailed as a king now

You know that you feel like a clown

From hero to zero

A king of the hill sitting on your throne

From hero to zero

You’re sittin' in a room feeling all alone

From hero to zero

The world looks good when you’re at the top

From hero to zero

You feel so bad when you start to drop

From hero to zero — From hero to zero
