Just Passin' Through

Just Passin' Through - The String Cheese Incident

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 and find a hole in the middle

Look straight down and 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 common place

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' and 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 common place
