From the recording All My Heroes Are Ghosts
Lyrics
Little girl with a silver-haired soul
Couldn’t wait for a future of rock n roll
When the time came they’d all moved on
The drugs wore off, the dream was gone
They smoothed out all the edges
Just when we need em’ the most
Left a pile of dusty records
All my heroes are ghosts
All my heroes are ghosts….
The big lights are going out
The bird with the raspy voice flew south
Prince is dead you can burn the stage
He’s the only one they’ll ever make
They smoothed out all the edges
Just when we need em’ the most
Left a pile of dusty records
All my heroes are ghosts
All my heroes are ghosts…
They smoothed out all the edges…
Grown woman with a child in her heart
Reaching anywhere and everywhere to find that spark
It comes through in little waves
In an old song before the station fades
