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
