Steve Was Dead

it's 12 o'clock and i'm picking up a phone call
dan said, is steve there?
cause no one else can find him
he said he'd heard that steve was in a car crash
the word was out that steve
was dead in a car crash; dead in a car crash
steve was dead but it was only for a moment

i heard it all
that night i heard it all
it was infectious
but no one really knew
through the grapevine
we were victims of a rumor
and all along i knew it wasn't true

next day at 8am
i get another phone call
this time it's steve
and he's laughing at us all
he thought at first that everyone was joking
until he heard the messages that we were leaving
that we were leaving
steve was dead but it was only for a moment
