Gone Lyrics

Dispatch Gone

You got your electricity.
The heat is on high, you can't keep your eyes away from the TV.
You walk outside with your face on the ground, too tired to hear the sound.
Of a child on the rooftops and he was kicking off slate.
Do you remember when you were a boy and you were void of hate.
Because I know a place where the smiles last for days, and the people celebrate at the drop of rain.
(They last for days)
They go outside, on the barefooted ground.
(They last for days)
They can hear the sound, they can hear the sound.
But switch back to the first world, a smiling face on the TV.
A man walks out of a square house into a square car and he wonders, "What's happened to me?"
And don't ask him where he's going 'cause he doesn't know when he'll be back.
He sits there in his car, with his keys in his lap.

Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
'Cause I haven't got a clue

I was crossing the tracks, I saw a big yellow light coming for me.
What happened to the blinking red lights?
They must have run out of batteries.
And I should stand up for my friends, because I believe in them.
And if someone puts them down, why am I silent 'til the end?
And you better smile when I say, "Hi" 'cause I'm smiling whenever you're nearby.
Well I guess you don't make a big deal out of anything anymore.
And ya pass a car turned over on the side of the road, you contemplate a reversal of the roles.
But you don't pull over to help, you'll forget about it 3 seconds down the road.

Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
Well have you figured it out, out
(Have you figured it out)
'Cause I haven't got a clue

And I held everything against you, 'cause you see you never held anything at all against me.
And you better smile when I say, "Hi" 'cause I'm smiling whenever you're nearby.
Well I guess you don't make a big deal out of anything anymore.
I was crossing the tracks, I saw a big yellow light coming for me.
What happened to the blinking red lights?
They must have run out of batteries.
Now you'll just forget about it all, 'cause all your things are gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
