Lyrics:

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

And it’s a sweet short ride through a beautiful place
If you can’t dig it, it’s a real disgrace
It’s a miracle, but commonplace
