Lyrics 60 & Punk - Death Cab for Cutie

There's nothing funny 'bout you 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 'round 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
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
I used to watch you on the late night scene
The timely rescue of a metal teen
Six strings were strumming rhythm and lead
That hadn't occurred to me
When I met you I was twenty-two
Trying so hard to play it cool
But there was so much that I needed to say
And nothing came out the right way
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
There's nothing elegant in being a drunk
It's nothing righteous being 60 and punk
But when you're looking in the mirror do you see
That kid that she 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?
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
