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 got it (got it), I got the strength to carry on, oh yeah

I need a drink and a quick decision

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

She's gone, she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, and she's gone

Oh why, what went wrong?

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror

One less toothbrush hanging in the stand, yeah

My face ain't looking any younger

Now I can see love's taken a toll on me

She's gone, she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it

She's gone, and she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, and she's gone

Oh why, what went wrong?

Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away, yeah

And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

They can never be what she was (was) to (to) me

She's gone, she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it

She's gone, and she's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, and she's gone

Oh I, what went wrong?

She's gone

Oh I, I better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

I can't believe that she's gone

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

She's gone

Oh I, I better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

I can't believe that she's gone

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

She's gone, she's gone

She's gone, she's gone

She's gone, she's gone
