“so sorry about your loss.”
“I heard the news.”
“you’ll be on your feet soon.”
This is not a layoff, it’s a scratch off
it’s a jackpot, it’s a furlough.
A royal flush that clogged the drain of my inevitable change.
Passing on, passing through,
passing you, pass it on,
pass it back.
you gotta watch it fall,
cause we’ve been long gone.

My alarm clock’s been unplugged since November.
Been broke since December.
But I'll be happy come January.
Not unlike an adolescent strung
out on daylight fighting the sunset.
this time we’ll play through the night,
Well I’ve got no curfew this time.
Passing on, passing through,
passing you, pass it on,
pass it back.
you gotta watch it fall,
cause we’ve been long gone.

My life’s not in a bank
gaining interest, losing interest.
It’s in this van, in this can,
on your finger. Set the rest on fire.
[x2]
Passing on, passing through,
passing you, pass it on,
pass it back.
you gotta watch it fall,
cause we’ve been long gone.
Not a layoff, a scratch off,
a jackpot, a furlough.
A brazen vacation.
Put that in your 401K.
