lyrics

So tell me of this better place
Of the eternal state of grace
You say we all will find
Tell me about this friend of mine

You say God had a plan
Some purpose for this man
But we don’t need to hear
These fantasies, borne of fear

We didn’t lose him
He won’t be found
He’s six feet underground

And if he’s gone
Where did he go?
Don’t tell me that you know

Passed on, but did he pass your test?
Now, was he damned or was he blessed?
You must give me a sign
And I’ll sign the dotted line

‘Cause it must be nice to be so sure
It’s all mapped in this brochure
You’ve really got it figured out
Doing the Hail Mary twist and shout

We didn’t lose him
He won’t be found
He’s six feet underground

And if he’s gone
Where did he go?
Don’t tell me that you know

Oh no, we didn’t lose him
He won’t be found
He’s six feet underground

And if he’s gone
Where did he go?
Don’t tell me that you know
Don’t tell me that you know
