Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the line   Nobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mind   Calling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in pain   It hurts to see you go but darling don't you know we're so glad you came      You'll stay gone a long, long time   Day by day you'll fly across our minds   Only a fool would want to stick around   When heaven bound      Disconnect the phone, heart from bone, voice from mind   So sad and blue, how'd you do, of course you did just fine   Grab a tail on this big gray whale and do your best to stay brave   In that final hour he's just a beautiful flower that couldn't be saved      You'll stay gone a long, long time   Day by day you'll fly across our minds   Only a fool would want to stick around   When heaven bound      And you'll stay gone a long, long time   Day by day you'll fly across our minds   Only a fool would want to stick around   When you're heaven bound, when you're heaven bound
