You say you knew him
What did you know
Never knew him, never knew him
Was he your friend
He was no friend, no
Never knew him, never knew him
He lived next door in that mad gray house
Rocked itself off its foundations
Knocked on the door, nobody came
Gave off weird vibrations
Never knew him, never would
That strange, strange boy from your childhood
Never knew him, no never knew him
His dad a banker, worked at a bank
So they said, yeah so they said
His mom a drinker, man how she drank
Spent her days in bed
He liked the Seeds. liked the Monkees
Stole records from the record store
His dad would smack him
And his mom would too
Don't know what they did that for
Then one day he disappeared
Where did he go, where did he go
Was he dead
That's what we feared
Where did he go
The cops came 'round
Looked for clues
The case was never cracked
What we know
What can be known
It's all abstract
