LOU REED - Gassed & Stoked - Loss lyrics

rate me

Well you covered your tracks and now I can't see you<br /> You had your ashes scattered at sea<br /> There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at<br /> You were in the new york times obituary<br /> There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie<br /> Some photographs and memories<br /> Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake<br /> And this is what I hear<br /> <br /> This is no longer a working number, baby<br /> Please redial your call<br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> Your party doesn't live here anymore<br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> If you still require help<br /> Stay on the line and an operator<br /> Will try to bail you out<br /> <br /> I knew I should have seen you that thursday<br /> I knew I shouldn't have left<br /> But you sounded so good, your spirits so up<br /> I thought I'd see you next week<br /> I say over and over if I had half a brain<br /> If I had half a brain in my head<br /> I wouldn't sit here dialing a wrong number<br /> And listening to what some recording said<br /> <br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> Please redial your call<br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> Your party doesn't live here anymore<br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> Well, if you still require help<br /> Stay on the line and an operator<br /> Will try to bail you out<br /> <br /> I knew I should have written, written things down<br /> I always say I'll never forget<br /> Who can forget a one-eyed pilot<br /> Who's a concert pianist, ah<br /> A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme<br /> My friends are blending in my head<br /> They're melting into one great spirit<br /> And that spirit isn't dead<br /> <br /> Now I may not remember everything that you said<br /> But I remember all the sings you've done<br /> And not a day goes by not an hour<br /> When I don't try to be like you<br /> You were gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> And you were that way all of the time<br /> So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myselves<br /> Every time I dial the wrong line<br /> <br /> This is no longer a working number, baby<br /> This is no longer a working number<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /> Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go<br /><br />
