LOU REED - Gassed and Stoked lyrics

rate me

Well, you covered your tracks<br /> 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 NY Times obituary<br /> There's no record no tape no book no movie<br /> Some photographs and some memories<br /> Sometime I dial your photo 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 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 /> I knew I should have written, written things down<br /> I always say I'll never forget<br /> Who can forget a one-eye pilot<br /> Who's a concert pianist<br /> A 0painter 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 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
