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 himHe 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 crashSteve was dead

But it was only for a momentHeard it all

That night I heard it all

It was infectious

But no one really knewThrough the grapevine

We were victims of a rumor

And all along

I knew it wasn't trueNext day at 8 A.M.

I get another phone call

This time it's Steve

And he's laughing at us all, yeahHe thought at first

That everyone was joking

Until he heard the messages

That we were leaving

That we were leavingSteve was dead

But it was only for a momentHeard it all

That night I heard it all

It was infectious

But no one really knewThrough the grapevine

We were victims of a rumor

And all along

I knew it wasn't trueCan't believe it

How rumors spread

Can't believe it

How rumors spreadHeard it all

That night I heard it all

It was infectious

But no one really knewThrough the grapevine

We were victims of a rumor

And all along

I knew it wasn't true

Yeah, all along

I knew it wasn't true
