Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's tryin' 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 Johnny for the imposition

I think I got it

I got the strength to carry on

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be



He's gone, oh I

Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it

He's gone, oh I,

Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him

He's gone, oh I,

What went wrong?



Get up in the morning and look in the mirror

I'm worn as a toothbrush hangin' in the stand

My face ain't lookin' any younger

Now I can see

Love's taken its toll on me



He's gone, oh I,

Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it

He's gone oh I,

Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him

He's gone, oh I,

What went wrong?



Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

The pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

They could never be what he was to me



He's gone, oh I,

Oh I, I'd better learn how to face it

He's gone, oh I,

Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him

He's gone, oh I,

What went wrong?

Whoa...



He's gone

I'd better learn how to face it

I can't believe that he's gone, oh I

He's gone

I'd better learn how to face it

I can't believe that he's gone, oh I



He's gone, he's gone, he's gone...
