When No One's Watching
Craig Finn

There's something in how well you tell the story

The way you overcame the odds all stacked against you

The way that you prevailed in the face of greater danger

The way at first that they misunderstood you

You regaled us with the way that you triumphed over darkness

The kisses in the shadows and the stockings

But as the pieces come together there's these things that I keep hearing

About the hero that you are when no one's watching

I saw Wendy at the Wagon Wheel, didn't know what to tell her

She said she saw you walking by her building

She said maybe you're ashamed that things turned out this way

You said you had to hurry off to something

She used to let her use her place to put on your better face

It went on for years she saw some bad things

And she told me what you told her about how you really loved her

That's a hero that you are when no one's watching

Feasting on the weakness of the women who were thinking

You might be held to half the things you told them

The wreckage that you left at the places that you slept

Moving through the bars and slowly stalking

Someone you can use that finds you charming

It's just the way our hero does his bidding

Living off of lies to lonely women

Now I heard that you went running back into Maria's arms

You said it's really just the best thing for the baby

And Maria never found another man to love and comfort

And every time you come back she's there waiting

So you ride into the sunset in and all ends up so happy,

The Jesus and the coffee and the talking

But does the audience applaud for all the women you've done wrong

And the hero that you are when no one's watching

Feasting on the weakness of the women who were hoping

You might be held to half the things you told them

The wreckage that you left at the places that you slept

Moving through the bars and slowly stalking

Someone you can use that finds you charming

The story that our hero keeps well hidden

A weak man living off of weaker women
