Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me
Sorry Charlie for the imposition I think I've got it, I got the strength to carry on, yeah I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh what will be?
Chorus: She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? I better learn how to face it She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? I'd pay the devil to replace her She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? What went wrong?
Get up in the morning, look in the mirror One less toothbrush hanging in the stand My face ain't looking any younger Now I can see love's taken a toll on me
Chorus
Think I'll spend eternity in the city Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories But they can never be what she once was to me
