lyrics

I don’t shudder when I read the news
nobody in the cemetery’s got the blues

I’ve been gone
how long have I been gone?
Well I know I got you worried
but it ain’t like I’ve been having fun

Say the last thing that you said again
My thoughts were running ‘round
I’m in and out of my head

I’ve been gone
how long have I been gone?
Well I know I got you worried
but it ain’t like I’ve been having fun

I got my TV and my radio, a screen or two
got all these voices shouting at me
nothing sounds like the truth

I’ve been gone
how long have I been gone?
Well I know I got you worried
but it ain’t like I’ve been having fun

I’ve been just fine
I’ve been done for
I’ve been to work on time
and I’ve woke up on the floor

I’ve been gone
how long have I been gone?
Well I know I got you worried
but it ain’t like I’ve been having fun
