death cab for cutie - 60 & punk lyrics
[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
