Death of a Hero lyrics

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 was through all that 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 was through all that 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 was through all that 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 was through all that 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

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 was through all that 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 was through all that magic

And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
