I heard your record on the telephone |
|
It was my cousin, Joan |
|
She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then |
|
I read your interview in Rolling Stone |
|
You threw the boys a bone |
|
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call |
|
I know You never meant to hurt us, man |
|
We're just a baby band |
|
You found a quicker way |
|
To scale the wall of fame |
|
The situation's awfully dim |
|
Should we up and go with him? |
|
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4) |
|
(chorus) |
|
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend) |
|
Don't know exactly where you're coming from |
|
You've gone away my friend |
|
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend) |
|
Don't know exactly where you're coming from |
|
Have you gone astray (gone) |
|
I saw your video on VH-1 |
|
Looks like they spent a ton |
|
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell |
|
And I remember when you used to say |
|
"Jesus is the way" |
|
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade |
|
The situation's awfully dim |
|
Should we up and go with him? |
|
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4) |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
(bridge) |
|
Don't think we don't miss you |
|
(We think about you every day) |
|
We still love you anyway |
|
('cause Love don't go away) |
|
There's still this burning question |
|
(I got to know) Why? |
|
(What will people think when they |
|
Hear that I'm a Jesus freak?) |
|
Ah, ah, ah (hey) |
|
(While this is something of fantasy) |
|
(The moral of the story is) |
|
(To stick with your friends) |
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah (hey) |
|
(What will you do if you lose 'em) |
|
(You've known 'em all since you were 10) |
|
(Get off your butt) |
|
Ah, ah, ah, (hey) |
|
(Go think of all the things you did) |
|
(You would get shot for one of them) |
|
(and they would for you, too) |
|
Ah, ah, ah (hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4) |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (my friend) |
|
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long |
|
You've gone away, my friend |
|
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (my friend) |
|
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long |
|
We'll see you someday |
|
Wish you well |
|
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend |
