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

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
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
