Key:
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
Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh
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
Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh
Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh
There goes the action hero (3x)
Ohhh oh oh oh Ohhh oh oh oh
There goes the action hero (3x)
He's racing against time <>
