Death Of a Hero

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 have 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 train wreck

The things you 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

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

The death of a hero

He couldn't be saved now

I'm cutting the grass

And I'll cover his grave

And 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

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
