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

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 8 A.M.
I get another phone call
This time it's Steve
And he's laughing at us all, yeah

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

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

Can't believe it
How rumors spread
Can't believe it
How rumors spread

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
Yeah, all along
I knew it wasn't true
