Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Auugh!
1,2,3,4
Walk in
I'm away
I'm a long time gone, and then the bomb
Whats that?
Who said?
How many days? Just what the hell is going on?
Oh dude,
Not you, my friend
It's been awhile
Since you been gone
Still don't understand why you left us, Anderson
I'm alright
I'm still drunk
Just so you know I eat the Ambien and watch Simpsons
Oh dude,
Not you, my friend
You'll be missed
Still are
The bar's not ever the same since you've been gone
I miss you
You know that
So with my days I just go on and on and on
Oh dude,
Not you, my friend
