Missing

Never knew why he would fall victim to five-dollar highs Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers One way to avoid questions and answers Chorus And Karl, he's lucky He's learned how to fly By keeping his knees on the ground The most likely one to achieve Such a high And Karl is missing tonight What can I say to his poor father He calls every day - looking for clues There's no "Gingerbread Man" for him to follow The candy man's come and taken his son And Karl, he's lucky He's learned how to fly By keeping his knees on the ground His face in the dirt And his friends by his side And Karl is missing tonight Maybe I'm the one that's wrong - I misunderstood You just wanna die young to come back And feel good But is it worth the exchange? Does it keep you from harm? The last time I saw you ~ you clutched my arm and you wept Like a child And Karl, he's lucky He's learned how to fly By keeping his knees on the ground He's learned how to leave without saying goodbye And Karl is missing tonight And Karl is out of my life. Out of my life.
