I'm running out of time but I'm not running
Pressure building in the clouds at the edge of town
I think I lost my faith waiting for the second coming
You can try to get to heaven, I try not letting heaven get me down
There go my heroes headed to stage for the curtain call

And it's goodnight, goodnight, rock and roll
If you find life on Mars you've got to let us know

I hope you're running down a dream there wildflower
I wept to Lazarus standing in the colored rain
Call the hall of fame, time to build a few more towers
Yeah I never got to know you, but your songs got me through the day
There go my heroes pressing play in the great beyond

And it's goodnight, goodnight, rock and roll
If you find life on Mars you've got to let us know
We could throw a funeral on a late-night show
I'd rather throw a T.V. out a hotel window
But it's goodnight, goodnight, rock and roll

Goodnight, goodnight, rock and roll
If you find life on Mars you've got to let us know
We could throw a funeral on a late-night show
I'd rather throw a T.V. out a hotel window
But it's goodnight, goodnight, rock and roll
Rock and roll, yeah
