Sometime after sunset He is on his hands and knees He is searching for his keys At a small Vietnamese place On East 11th Street
His daughters both at once say Can we just get going please? As his wife begins to sneeze And his son is throwing peas And eating with his feet
He's an action hero And he should be fighting crime Leaping between the buildings And racing against time He's an action hero He's an action hero In his mind
In his mind
He drops by Mount Sinai Where they're running through some tests
And they've taped things to his chest And they're all doing their best To make him feel at ease
The doctor says it's really just An educated guess I suggest you get some rest Try to cut back on the stress Cause I don't like what I see
But the action hero Swears he feels just fine He's got to finish saving The world for all mankind He's an action hero He's an action hero
And he's racing against time He's racing against time
There goes the action hero There goes the action hero He's racing against time
