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
