He was born to a whore

On a flophouse floor

They held him up and he cried

Said have you ever heard

A sound so sore

Said not since superman died

She cursed and hit

And denied him tit

'til he grew and ate her alive

Said have you ever seen such a mess

Said not since superman died



She was walking down

Near the edge of town

So they stopped and gave her a ride

Said have you ever been to baltimore

Said not since superman died

She wagged her tongue

As he gripped his gun

And she touched his hand and he cried

Said have you ever had a girl before

Said not since superman died



He was caught in the midst

Of a nicotine fit

It burned him up from inside

Said otis do you have a cigarette

Said not since superman died

They wrapped her in a plastic bag

And threw her over the side

Said otis do you ever feel remorse

Said not since superman died
