Black Francis
That Burnt Out Rock and Roll
He was an aging rock and roll starWith a burnt out country beatAnd the children who once cheered his nameNow have young 'ins at their own feetAnd no one has timeFor that burnt out rock and rollBut a rock and roll singer will never dieAs long as the words to his songs are rememberedWithout the burnt out tear that filled his eyeHe build a white crystal canyonTo escape the rock revival showsAnd to dream of a timeWhen just his music brought his highs and his lowsAnd no one has timeFor that burnt out rock and rollBut a rock and roll singer will never dieAs long as the words to his songs are rememberedWithout the burnt out tear that filled his eyeThere was one last late night TV showThe camera missed the gun in his jeansSongtexteHe sang the songs and played the roleThen a bullet cut him cleanAnd no one has timeFor that burnt out rock and rollBut a rock and roll singer will never dieAs long as the words to his songs are rememberedWithout the burnt out tear that filled his eye
