Lyrics

Its Gone
© 2014 Stuck With Green/Evan Zappa & the Necessity

My father was a butcher tying aprons to his strings
Chopping cow fed crying spectacles across my mother's wings
The family tried its best to live subdued in its pastels
But life beyond the borders was the dream that rang my bell

(chorus 1)
It's gone, it's gone, its really gone, its nowhere to be found
This thing that was attached to me that tied me to the ground
This piece of me, this part of me I grew so well to know
Its gone, its gone, its really gone this thing I called my soul

It started with the little things just venial you might say
But years went on when mortal simply had to have its way
A ragamuffin reprobate, a cataclysmic climb
Even angels couldn't catch me falling fast on my behind

(chorus 2)
It's gone, it's gone, its really gone, its nowhere to be found
This thing that was attached to me that tied me to the ground
This piece of me, this part of me I grew to know so well
Its gone, its gone, its really gone I'm headed straight to hell!

(bridge)
Who says the soul of lesser men amount to nothing more
Than silver grasping molecules of mis-beguided whores
When trollops sing in harmony upon the devil's grave
The peasants' heartfelt agony lives on another day

(chorus 1)
It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone, its nowhere to be found
This thing that was attached to me that tied me to the ground
This piece of me, this part of me I grew so well to know
Its gone, its gone, its really gone this thing I called my soul
