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
