I stood in disbelief wonderin' when the madness is gonna be done The gravest tears had come up on me in consequence, Route 91 Then I was in a studio, once again, I broke down and cried A voice come on my headphones, told me Tom Petty died And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers we're needing We're all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, don't play it back This train we're on's comin' off the tracks Ain't nobody left to sing the blues the way they supposed to be sung Everybody's talkin', nobody's listenin', it's like we're just speakin' in tongues There's a beauty that we witness when standin' in a sacred place Yet lookin' at the disarray down here, you'd think maybe God's run out of grace And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers we're needing We're all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, don't play it back This train we're on's comin' off the tracks We were as beautiful as angels, one was born with virtue and trust Then our innocence was lost, burned off or turned to rust SongtexteBut we're betrayed by black when shadows risin' in the darkness at dusk Steering us away from the light, little broken toys in the dust And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers we're needing We're all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, don't play it back This train we're on's comin' off the tracks Aus Songtexte Mania
