Lou Reed - Gassed & Stoked - Loss Lyrics
Well you covered your tracks and now I cant see youYou had your ashes scattered at seaTheres no grave to visit, no tombstone to look atYou were in the new york times obituaryTheres no record, no tape, no book, no movieSome photographs and memoriesSometimes I dial your phone number by mistakeAnd this is what I hearThis is no longer a working number, babyPlease redial your callThis is no longer a working numberYour party doesnt live here anymoreThis is no longer a working numberIf you still require helpStay on the line and an operatorWill try to bail you outI knew I should have seen you that thursdayI knew I shouldnt have leftBut you sounded so good, your spirits so upI thought Id see you next weekI say over and over if I had half a brainIf I had half a brain in my headI wouldnt sit here dialing a wrong numberAnd listening to what some recording saidThis is no longer a working numberPlease redial your callThis is no longer a working numberYour party doesnt live here anymoreThis is no longer a working numberWell, if you still require helpStay on the line and an operatorWill try to bail you outI knew I should have written, written things downI always say Ill never forgetWho can forget a one-eyed pilotWhos a concert pianist, ahA painter, a poet, songwriter supremeMy friends are blending in my headTheyre melting into one great spiritAnd that spirit isnt deadNow I may not remember everything that you saidBut I remember all the sings youve doneAnd not a day goes by not an hourWhen I dont try to be like youYou were gassed, stoked and rarin to goAnd you were that way all of the timeSo I guess you know why Im laughing at myselvesEvery time I dial the wrong lineThis is no longer a working number, babyThis is no longer a working numberGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to goGassed, stoked and rarin to go
