[Intro]

Long gone

[Verse 1]

Lips move, I cannot hear

A single word, they're trying to say

A car crash, in front of me

But I'm not there, I'm everywhere, there

I shut my ears, a long time ago

More comfortable, and less vulnerable

I may o' miss a beat, be it so

Cause I hear my soul when I'm ...

[Chorus]

Long gone

I'm not coming in today

I'm long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Next time I come around

I promise I won't let you down

But now I'm long gone

I'm calling in sick today

[Verse 2]

Life's a sentence without tense

I'm hungry, give me some

Nothing never ever tastes the same

No, nothing ever changes

And heaven knows that we've got hell to pay

I'll deal with that another day, cause now I'm

[Chorus]

Long gone

I'm not coming in today

I'm long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Next time I come around

I promise I won't let you down

But now I'm long gone

I'm calling in sick today

[Break]

Long gone, long gone

Tears in the sky, but I'm flyin' higher

I'm long gone

[Bridge]

Material's bordering on translucence

Perhaps to you it makes no sense

But I'm still ok to go

Inside of me the weather's beautiful, oh sandman

[Chorus]

Long gone

I'm not coming in today

I'm long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Next time I come around

I promise I won't let you down

But now I'm long gone

I'm calling in sick today

Long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Next time I come around

I promise I will bring you some, 'til then

[Outro]

I'm long gone

I'm not coming in today

I'm long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Long gone

I'm not coming in today

I'm long gone

(Gone, gone, long)

Long gone

Long gone

I'm not coming in today
