Don Quixote Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mind can play tricks
Makes you what you want to be
Just like superheroes
You saw them on TV

[Bridge 1]
Coast to coast, wall to wall
Got to go, duty calls
Here I am (Here I am)
Superman, Lois Lane
Saved the world, back again
Here I am

[Verse 2]
In my old, red saloon
I'm a knight in shining armor
If I were asleep, man
I couldn't be much calmer

[Bridge 2]
Hit the road, on the run
Faster than anyone
Here I am
One for all, all for one
Shake the fist, shoot the gun
Here I am
[Chorus]
Don Quixote
What do you say?
Are we proud, are we brave or just crazy?
Don Quixote
What do you say?
Are we shouting at windmills like you?


[Verse 3]
Common sense, is as good
As a cafe on the moon
When man and machinery come to their high noon


[Bridge 3]
Beat the clock, punch the wall
Fix'd in no time at all
Here I am
Radio on the blink
Kick the cat, hit the drink
Here I am


[Chorus]
Don Quixote
What do you say?
Are we proud, are be brave or just crazy?
Don Quixote
What do you say?
Are we shooting at windmills like you?
[Outro]
Here I am
Don Quixote
We're all Men of La Mancha
