And Stay Lost

Hey now what do you suppose
Became of Jim Thompson cause no one knows
He revitalized the Thai silk trade
but what a terrible price he paid
He just up and disappeared
Don't you think that's kind of weird?
Don't you think that's really weird?
Where the heck'd he go?
A monk warned him that it would happen
Still old Jim went off backpackin'
Last seen on a Malaysian mountain
Nobody has ever found him
Gone for 40 years and counting
Poof! Just up in smoke
Amelia Earhart, Ambrose Bierce
Missing and the worst is feared
The Lindburgh Baby, he's gone too
Lord Lucan, where are you?
You know what really gets me down
How some people just stick around
They won't get the opposite of found
They can't take a hint
No matter how hard you might wish
Some people refuse to vanish
Like a bad penny or a lost pup
They always manage to turn up
Don't know the meaning of buzz off
Stickier than lint
Hey why don't you just get lost? x7
Hey why don't you just stay lost?
Agatha Christie showed back up
Others didn't have such luck
They disappeared and then stayed gone
Try it, you might find it's fun
A favor if I might presume
Check and see if you're in the other room
And don't you hurry back too soon
Why don't you just stay lost!?
