Paroles Rock gods Ray Wylie Hubbard

Rock gods

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
But 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
