60 & Punk Death Cab for Cutie

[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
