[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers were needing Were all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, dont play it back This train were ons comin off the tracks [Verse 2] Aint nobody left to sing the blues the way they supposed to be sung Everybodys talkin, nobodys listenin, its like were just speakin in tongues Theres a beauty that we witness when standin in a sacred place Yet lookin at the disarray down here, youd think maybe Gods run out of grace [Chorus] And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers were needing Were all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, dont play it back This train were ons comin off the tracks [Verse 3] 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 were betrayed by black when shadows risin in the darkness at dusk Steering us away from the light, little broken toys in the dust [Chorus] And all the rock gods are dead or dying Seems the whole world is broken and crying It is more than prayers were needing Were all on a cross, alone and bleeding And hey, engineer, dont play it back This train were ons comin off the tracks
