Baby's Been Gone

Baby's been gone, too long The day's growing short The winter's coming on And baby's been gone too long La la la, la la When the cat's away It all goes to the dogs The mice come to play It's no fun at all When baby's been gone too long When your baby's been gone and you wish that they wasn't Things just tend to go from bad to worst Not sure what's coming next but I bet it's gonna hurt When your baby's been gone and you wish that they weren't It's the same old song I hear you yawning, I know you're bored Still it pours out of me, adding nothing to the world Sticky as oil Pulling creatures underneath the waves Burning holes in the sky, starting wars and just generally Fucking up your day - still I implore Do not stop me if you've heard this one before My baby's been gone When the cat's away The wolves come to the door The mice turn and say "Hey man These ain't our friends... they must be yours." And the angel in palm of your hand says "This time man I've done all I can But I really do understand your baby's been gone." La la la, la la When your baby's been gone and you wish that they wasn't Things just tend to go from bad to bleak If you didn't think that love could bring you to your knees This kind of shit's gonna make you believe When baby comes home well I'll be overjoyed Hug and hold her never let her leave Raise a glass to the moon and say a prayer for the lovers When your baby's been gone and you wish that they wasn't
