Lyrics
You were passed out on the sofa
Cigarette burns and coffee stains
Loose change in your pocket
Naltrexone in your veins
They got a scanner at the airport now
And a dropout in a Kevlar vest
I can hear the timer ticking in my chest
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew comes through?
When you get out on your own again
If you ever do shake free
If you find yourself in Portland
Ask about me
Dig up the first revision
The one who's got less to lose
Look on every lamppost
From here to Baton Rouge
Ask yourself one question
Then ask yourself again
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew comes through?
It's better if you have a plan
It's better if you have a plan
I saw the future in an oil slick
It told me what I need to know
Little, little stain behind you
Everywhere you go
