One of these days Im bound to wake up dead
No one gets out alive, Ive heard it said
I reach to the sky find a hole in the middle
Look straight down see hells hot griddle
Leap in the moon with a hey diddle diddle
Precious dear, take a good close look at me
Never know if its the last time youll see
This transitory piece of celestial matter
One more seed that has been scattered
I once was former, Ill soon be latter
Im just passin through
Just passin through
Its a sweet short ride through a beautiful place
If you cant dig it, its a real disgrace
Its a miracle, but commonplace
Seems to me a bad raps laid on death
As though you're weak to breathe your own last breath
Aint as if I dont really love livin
Not the least bit tired of the takin the givin
When I go, itll all be forgiven
Im just passin through
Im just passin through
And its a sweet short ride through a beautiful place
If you cant dig it, its a real disgrace
Its a miracle, but commonplace
