The answering machine is full
With all the calls, it's nothing new
It's the same old thing
The sound of cellphone rings
Another problem to ignore
One more chore that's what friends are for
And it's the same old thing
And now your cellphone rings, the orders of the king
It always seems to be
"Oh, gotta go, got no time for conversation"
(So long, friend)
Always missing something
It always seems to be
"Oh, so long, there's no room for an explanation"
(So long friend)
So long and thanks for nothing
Now it's a time bomb in his hands
He understands, trained by its demands
And it's the same old thing
Another cellphone ring, the orders of the king
It always seems to be
"Oh, gotta go, got no time for conversation"
(So long, friend)
Always missing something
It always seems to be
"Oh, so long, there's no need for an explanation"
(So long friend)
So long and thanks for nothing
Now the alarm is set
So don't forget to pull a rabbit from your hat
Because it's what you get
When you expect a bit of magic, it falls flat
The moon can offer no relief
His cellphone shakes him from his sleep
It always seems to be
"Oh, gotta go, got no time for conversation"
(So long, friend)
Always missing something
It always seems to be
"Oh, so long, there's no need for an explanation"
(So long friend)
So long and thanks for nothing
It always seems to be
"Oh, goodbye, farewell"
(So long, friend)
Always missing something
It always seems to be
"Oh, goodbye, farewell"
(So long friend)
So long and thanks for nothing
