[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There s nothing funny about just 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 around 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
And that hadn t occurred to me
When I met you I was 22
Trying so hard to play it cool
But there was so much that I needed to say
And nothing came out the right way
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
There s nothing elegant in being a drunk
It s nothing righteous being 60 and a punk
But when you re looking in the mirror do you see
That kid that you 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?
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
