Lyrics

[Intro]

Two, three

[Verse 1]

First guy I knew who died, can't remember his name

Tenth grade started, he just never came again

All his friends sat around and cried for a day or two

Well, you can say what you want about immortal soul

When that guy died, it left a hole

It was my first clue

That when they're gone they're gone

[Chorus]

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we're not sure

Maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure

Or maybe you'll come back someday as a king prawn

Maybe angels come and take you away to Heaven

Or the other way

But from down here, it appears that when they're gone, they're gone

[Verse 2]

Me and Stevie Gibson used to walk home from school

He used to have this little turn around rule

If you turn around the one way, gotta turn around the other way or it's bad luck

He went out rafting on the river

The river went around and the raft went around

And his luck got all wound up, and then he drowned, and he was gone

[Chorus]

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we're not sure

Maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure

Or maybe you'll come back someday as a king prawn

Maybe angels come and take you away to Heaven

Or the other way

But from down here, it appears that when they're gone, they're gone

[Verse 3]

Two weeks after Dieter died, you could call him on the phone

He would tell you that he's not home

And it gave you an eerie feeling, even though you knew it was just an answering machine

'Cause somewhere deep inside, you know

That they don't come back when they go

And he had gone, and when they're gone, they're gone

[Chorus]

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we're not sure

Maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure

Or maybe you'll come back someday as a king prawn

Maybe angels come and take you away to Heaven

Or the other way

But from down here, it appears that when they're gone, they're gone

[Verse 4]

My mother died in intensive care

We were sitting around, singing on folding chairs

When I got the feeling somebody wasn't there

Well, I counted noses, but it came out right

The doctors say she died that night

But I felt that hole and I knew that she had gone

[Chorus]

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we're not sure

Maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure

Or maybe you'll come back someday as a king prawn

Maybe angels come and take you away to Heaven

Or the other way

But from down here, it appears that when they're gone, they're gone

[Verse 5]

I looked up death in the dictionary one day

Just to see what the dictionary had to say

It's the complete and irreversible cessation of life functions

Which is not very poetic, but it's precise and clean

And if you analyze that, well, what it means

Is when they're gone, they're gone

[Chorus]

Maybe Jesus beat that rap, we're not sure

Maybe you can live forever if your heart is pure

Or maybe you'll come back someday as a king prawn

Maybe angels come and take you away to Heaven

Or the other way

But from down here, it appears that when they're gone, they're gone
