I heard your record on the telephone
it was my cousin, joan
she picked it up from the top 40 rack and then
I read your interview in rolling stone
you threw the boys a bone
and so i genuinely felt obliged to call
I know you never meant to hurt us, man
weand're just a baby band
you found a quicker way
to scale the wall of fame
The situationand's awfully dim
should we up and go with him?
no way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(chorus)
we know exactly where you are, and youand're gone [my friend]
donand't know exactly where youand're coming from
youand've gone away my friend
we know exactly where you are, and youand're gone [my friend]
donand't know exactly where youand're coming from
have you gone astray [gone]
I saw your video on vh-1
looks like they spent a ton
how does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And i remember when you used to say
andquot;jesus is the wayandquot;
i never thought iand'd see your light begin to fade
The situationand's awfully dim
should we up and go with him?
no way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
donand't think we donand't miss you
[we think about you every day]
we still love you anyway
[love donand't go away]
thereand's still this burning question
[i got to know] why?
[what will people think when they
hear that iand'm a jesus freak?]
Ah, ah, ah [hey]
[while this is something of fantasy]
[the moral of the story is]
[to stick with your friends]
ah, ah, ah, ah [hey]
ah, ah, ah, [hey]
ah, ah, ah [hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(repeat chorus)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and youand're gone [my friend]
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
youand've gone away, my friend
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and youand're gone [my friend]
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
weand'll see you someday
wish you well
na, na, na, na, na, my friend
