everybody´s high on consolation

everybody´s trying to tell me what´s right for me

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, got the strength to carry on

i need a drink and a quick decision

now it´s up to me, ooh what will be

chorus:

she´s gone oh i, oh i´d

better learn how to face it

she´s gone oh i, oh i´d

pay the devil to replace her

she´s gone - what went wrong

up in the morning look in the mirror

i´m worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand

my face ain´t looking any younger

now i can see love´s taken her toll on me

she´s gone

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 was to me

she´s gone
