歌词
There's nothing funny 'bout you slipping away
It's nothing funny how you're spending your days
But you're laughing like a kid at a carnival
♪
I watched you stumbling 'round this dusty town
I heard your bottle talking way too loud
As the Federales tried to hunt you down
For something you can't remember what was about
♪
The curtain falls to applause and the
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
He's a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
That hadn't occurred to me
When I met you I was twenty-two
Trying so hard to play it cool
But there was so much that I needed to say
And nothing came out the right way
♪
The curtain falls to applause and the
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
He's a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
The curtain falls to applause and the
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
He's a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
♪
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
It's nothing righteous being 60 and punk
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
That kid that she used to be?
Broke and working in a record store
Daydreaming about the upcoming tour
Were you happier when you were poor?
Were you happier when you were poor?
♪
The curtain falls to applause and the
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
He's a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
The curtain falls to applause and the
Band plays you off, the band plays you off
He's a superhero growing bored with no one to save anymore
