Superman Died
I thought you knew
we were building something bigger
than what can be heard
I thought you knew
Superman died in his cape last night
A kryptonite bride fell on his head
We watched and shuddered in the howling wind
It takes a cold miner to find the chinks
A dead man can fill them with his bones
Grind them into powder
In this coward town
No one was strong enough
To bear the weight
In this coward town
No one was brave enough
To bury him
We watched and shuddered in the howling wind
It takes a cold miner to find the chinks
A dead man warms us with his bones
Burn them on the fire
