Death Cab For Cutie - 60 & Punk lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - 60 & Punk lyrics]
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
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
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
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 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?
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
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
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
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
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 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?
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
