verse
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thing, man
It's a real get-you-downer
But don't you dare say nothin' else
Bad about her: She's gone
verse
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away
'Cause tonight, I might need it
It gets real lonely around here at night some times
An' I have to read read it
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town
They won't believe that she's gone
chorus
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing she left behind for me:
verse
You know, my psychiatrist said:
"Tell me, what do you see
"When you look at these inkspots
"Of, er, reds, yellows an' greens?"
You know, I looked at 'em all
But they all looked to me like big blue notes
chorus
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing that's left to do for me
verse
Is stand high on this cliff
With my big blue notepaper aeroplane
An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes
An' if it don't come back to me
You guessed it: She's gone
