"Gassed And Stoked - Loss"


	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 NY Times obituary
	There's no record no tape no book no movie
	some photographs and some memories
	Sometime I dial your photo 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 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 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 written, written things down
	I always say I'll never forget
	Who can forget a one-eye pilot
	who's a concert pianist
	A Opainter 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 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
