One of these days I'm bound to wake up dead
No one gets out alive, I've heard it said
I'll reach to the sky and find a hole in the middle
Or look straight down and see Hell's hot griddle
Leapin' the moon with a hey, diddle, diddle
Precious dear, take a good close look at me
You never know if it's the last time you'll see
This transitory piece of celestial matter
One morsel that has been scattered
I once was former, I'll soon be latter
I'm just passin' through, just passin' through
(And there ain't a damned thing about it you can do)
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, commonplace
Seems to me a bad rap's laid on death
As though you're weak to breath your own last breath
Ain't as if I don't really love livin'
Not the least bit tired of the taking and the giving
When I go, it'll all be forgiven
I'm just passin' through, 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
