Long goneLips move, 
I can not hear
A single word, they're trying to say
A car crash, in front of me
But I'm not there, 
I'm everywhere, there
I shut my ears, a long time ago,
More comfortable, an' less vulnerable
I may o' miss a beat, be it so,'
Cause I hear my soul when 
I'm ...[CHORUS]
Long goneI'm not coming in today
I'mLong gone(Gone gone long)
Long goneNext time
I come around
I promiseI won't let you down
But nowI'm long gone
I'm calling in sick today
Life's a sentence without tense
I'm hungry, give me some
Nothing never ever taste the same
NoNothing ever changes
An' heaven knows that we've got hell to pay
I'll deal with that another day, 'cause now 
I'm[Chorus (x1)]
Long goneLong gone
Tears in the sky, but 
I'm flyin' higher
I'm long gone
Material's bordering on translucence
Perhaps to you it makes no sense
But I'm still 
OK to goInside of me the weather's beautiful, oh sandman[Chorus (x1)]
Long gone(Gone gone long)
Long goneNext time
I come around
I promiseI will bring you some, 'til then
I'm long gone
I'm not coming in today
I'mLong gone(Gone gone long)
Long goneLong gone
I'm not coming in today
I'mLong gone(Gone gone long)
Long goneLong gone
I'm not coming in today
