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 thеy were shamelеss
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
