Find you in the dark
Read you like a cheap surprise
Without shame
Sell me out and frame your name
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon, you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
Rolling back the days
With my friend I love to play
The little one
Superman with silver gun
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon, you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
Wait for me
Take a dive, take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb) wait for me
Tell a lie, try to take my life
(Leave me numb) wait for me
Take a dive, take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb) close to me
And I'll leave you numb
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
Read you like a cheap surprise
Without shame
Sell me out and frame your name
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon, you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
Rolling back the days
With my friend I love to play
The little one
Superman with silver gun
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon, you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
Wait for me
Take a dive, take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb) wait for me
Tell a lie, try to take my life
(Leave me numb) wait for me
Take a dive, take a piece of my life
(Leave me numb) close to me
And I'll leave you numb
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?
You toed the line
And I know it was mine
Couldn't hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know
Can I, friend, ask you why?

This song is emblematic of Scott Weiland’s growing lyrical obsession with his heroin addiction. “Silver gun” is slang for a hypodermic needle, and being a “Silver Gun Superman” means that Weiland was particularly handy with a needle.
