Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what is 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 got the strength to carry on I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me who I will be She's gone, oh why, oh why I better learn how to face it She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her She's gone, oh why, what went wrong Get up in the morning, look in the mirror I'm worn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand My face ain't looking any younger Now I can see love taking her toll on me She's gone, oh why, oh why I better learn how to face it She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her She's gone, oh why, what went wrong . . . I think I've spent eternity in the city Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories There can never be what she was to me She's gone, oh why, oh why I better learn how to face it She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her She's gone, oh why, what went wrong . . . She's gone, oh why, oh why I better learn how to face it She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her She's gone, oh why, oh why I better learn how to face it She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her She's gone, oh why, oh why I pay the devil to replace her
