Well you covered your tracks and now I can't see you   You had your ashes scattered at sea   There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at   You were in the new york times obituary   There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie   Some photographs and memories   Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake   And this is what I hear      This is no longer a working number, baby   Please redial your call   This is no longer a working number   Your party doesn't live here anymore   This is no longer a working number   If you still require help   Stay on the line and an operator   Will try to bail you out      I knew I should have seen you that thursday   I knew I shouldn't have left   But you sounded so good, your spirits so up   I thought I'd see you next week   I say over and over if I had half a brain   If I had half a brain in my head   I wouldn't sit here dialing a wrong number   And listening to what some recording said      This is no longer a working number   Please redial your call   This is no longer a working number   Your party doesn't live here anymore   This is no longer a working number   Well, if you still require help   Stay on the line and an operator   Will try to bail you out      I knew I should have written, written things down   I always say I'll never forget   Who can forget a one-eyed pilot   Who's a concert pianist, ah   A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme   My friends are blending in my head   They're melting into one great spirit   And that spirit isn't dead      Now I may not remember everything that you said   But I remember all the sings you've done   And not a day goes by not an hour   When I don't try to be like you   You were gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   And you were that way all of the time   So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myselves   Every time I dial the wrong line      This is no longer a working number, baby   This is no longer a working number   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go   Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
