I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin, Joan
She picked it up in the top 40 rack and then

I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call

I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We´re just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame

The situation´s awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]

(chorus)
We know exactly where you are, and you´re gone [my friend]
Don´t know exactly where you´re coming from
You´ve gone away my friend
We know exactly where you are, and you´re gone [my friend]
Don´t know exactly where you´re coming from
Have you gone astray [gone]

I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell

And I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I´d see your light begin to fade

The situation´s awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Don´t think we don´t miss you
[We think about you every day]
We still love you anyway
[Love don´t go away]
There´s still this burning question
[I got to know] Why?

[What will people think when they
Hear that I´m a Jesus freak?]

Ah, ah, ah [hey]
[While this is something of fantasy]
[The moral of the story is]
[To stick with your friends]
Ah, ah, ah, ah [hey]
Ah, ah, ah, [hey]
Ah, ah, ah [hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4]

(repeat chorus)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you´re gone [my friend]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
You´ve gone away, my friend
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you´re gone [my friend]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
We´ll see you someday
Wish you well
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
