[00:00.718] Written by Lou Reed & Mike Rathke
[00:06.204]
[00:13.362] Well, you covered your tracks
[00:15.556] And now I can't see you
[00:16.914] You had your ashes scattered at sea
[00:20.023] There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at
[00:23.393] You were in the New York Times obituary
[00:26.919] There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie
[00:30.420] Some photographs and some memories
[00:33.815] Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake
[00:37.237] And this is what I hear:
[00:40.738] This is no longer a working number, baby
[00:44.160] Please redial your call
[00:47.504] This is no longer a working number
[00:50.769] Your party doesn't live here anymore
[00:54.295] This is no longer a working number
[00:57.535] If you still require help
[01:00.983] Stay on the line, and an operator
[01:04.222] Will try to bail you out
[01:06.338]
[01:21.149] I knew I should have seen you that Thursday
[01:24.571] I knew I shouldn't have left
[01:27.758] But you sounded so good, your spirits so up
[01:31.311] I thought I'd see you next week
[01:34.759] I say over and over if I had half a brain
[01:37.972] If I had half a brain in my head
[01:41.394] I wouldn't sit here, dialing a wrong number
[01:44.816] And listening to what some recording said
[01:48.343] This is no longer a working number
[01:51.765] Please redial your call
[01:55.082] This is no longer a working number
[01:58.034] Your party doesn't live here anymore
[02:01.848] This is no longer a working number
[02:05.584] But if you still require help
[02:08.640] Stay on the line, and an operator
[02:12.010] Will try to bail you out
[02:14.491]
[02:15.797] I knew I should have written, written things down
[02:18.384] I always say I'll never forget
[02:22.145] Who can forget a one-eyed pilot?
[02:25.228] Who's a concert pianist?
[02:28.780] A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme
[02:32.072] My friends are blending in my head
[02:35.546] They're melting into one great spirit
[02:38.785] And that spirit isn't dead
[02:42.338] Now, I may not remember everything that you said
[02:45.342] But I remember all the sings you've done
[02:48.999] And not a day goes by, not an hour
[02:52.369] When I don't try to be like you
[02:55.686] You were gassed, stoked, and rarin' to go
[02:58.926] And you were that way all the time
[03:02.348] So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myselves
[03:05.770] Every time I dial the wrong line
[03:09.479] This is no longer a working number, baby
[03:16.323] This is no longer a working number
[03:23.298]
