Every story needs a hero...

Are you tossing and turning in bed until four?
With a question mark over your fate?
Are you wondering when you should pack up and go
Take the train up to Washington State?
Did you fill an emergency kit with your batteries
Blankets and savoury snacks?
Don’t give into panic yet, we got defenses set
Marshaled by brave Captain Stark

Yes the Ducks all beware of him, ants creep away from him
Seagulls don’t mess in his airspace
This is the song of the hopes of the human race
Hailing its heroes with grace
He’s a captain in e-ver-y sense of the word, my friend
Fighting the dangers we face

Was your dog at the window sill watching the sky
Is he barking but nobody’s there?
Was your cat freaking out when the butcher came by
Did he frown from the top of the stairs?
Would you like to come down, take a walk into town
Are you scared of a stroll in the park?
Well your ship has come in because here comes courageous young
Brilliant and brave Captain Stark

Yes amphibians swim from him, insects all run from him
Weasels don’t cry in his airspace
This is the song of the hopes of the human race
Searching for heroes with grace
He’s a captain in e-ver-y sense of the word, my friend
Fighting the dangers we face

Are you morbid then mad then confused then amused
By a planet that’s out of control?
Did you hide your new shoes when they said in the news
That the spiders discovered a mole?
Do you take out the trash with a yellow ski mask
Are you wary of wolves in the dark?
You can hold up your head, my friend, no one gets harmed
On the watch-hour of brave Captain Stark

Yes the cavalry follows him, criminals watch for him
Villains don’t mess with his airspace
This is the song of the hopes of the human race
Hailing its heroes with grace
He’s a captain in most ev’ry sense of the word, come on!
Stark to the perils we face
