60 & Punk

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
 There's nothing funny 'bout you slipping away
