I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom
He was doing lines or something in the bathroom I barely recognized him at all
I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power
I wish someone would've thrown him in the shower I barely recognized him at all
* That night I put my youth in a casket And buried it inside of me
That night I saw through all the magic Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I burned all the pictures in the attic And threw away the magazines
That night I saw through all the magic And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck
The things he said to girls, well they were shameless I barely recognized him at all
I tried to help but he said he "was just too far from saving"
And nothing I could say was gonna change him I barely recognized him at all
( * )
The death of a hero he couldn't be saved Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
I'll cover his grave The death of a hero I'm turning the page
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave I'll cover his grave
