Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me 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've got it, got the strength to carry on I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh what will be [Chorus] She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd Better learn how to face it She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd Pay the devil to replace her She's Gone - what went wrong Up in the morning look in the mirror I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand My face ain't looking any younger Now I can see love's taken her toll on me She's Gone Think I'll spend eternity in the city Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories But they can never be what she was to me She's Gone
