Gassed And Stokedloss lyrics

Well you covered your tracks and now I can`t see you

you had your ashes scattered at sea

There`s no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at

you were in the New York Times obituary

There`s no record, no tape, no book, no movie

some photographs and memories

Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake

and this is what I hear



This is no longer a working number, baby

please redial your call

This is no longer a working number

your party doesn`t live here anymore

This is no longer a working number

if you still require help

Stay on the line and an operator

will try to bail you out



I knew I should have seen you that Thursday

I knew I shouldn`t have left

But you sounded so good, your spirits so up

I thought I`d see you next week

I say over and over if I had half a brain

if I had half a brain in my head

I wouldn`t sit here dialing a wrong number

and listening to what some recording said



This is no longer a working number

please redial your call

This is no longer a working number

your party doesn`t live here anymore

This is no longer a working number

well, if you still require help

Stay on the line and an operator

will try to bail you out



I knew I should have written, written things down

I always say I`ll never forget

Who can forget a one-eyed pilot

who`s a concert pianist, ah

A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme

my friends are blending in my head

They`re melting into one great spirit

and that spirit isn`t dead



Now I may not remember everything that you said

but I remember all the sings you`ve done

And not a day goes by not an hour

when I don`t try to be like you

You were gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

and you were that way all of the time

So I guess you know why I`m laughing at myselves

every time I dial the wrong line



This is no longer a working number, baby

This is no longer a working number

Gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

Gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go

gassed, stoked and rarin` to go
