"Overpass" lyrics

"Overpass"

7-Eleven Slurpy at noon
Rain fallin' hard on a plastic spoon
Tired old man can't find the bus
Much too stoned to make a fuss

Always keep a light in your pocket
You never know when you'll need a fire
Under your ass

Rainbow over the overpass
Better look quick
'Cause it ain't gonna last

Captain Ahab washed ashore
He woke up ready to drink some more
Bought an island, pristine green
But he broke his only submarine

Always keep a light in your pocket
You never know when you'll need a fire
Under your ass

Rainbow over the overpass
Better look quick
'Cause it ain't gonna last

Supermarket angel cries
Good goddamn, I spilled my fries
Daytime T.V. fade away
Meet me at the end of days

Always keep a light in your pocket
You never know when you'll need a fire
Under your ass

Rainbow over the overpass
Better look quick
'Cause it ain't gonna last

Life is laughter, letting go
Letting go of what you know
Hell is waking up too soon
Heaven's when you hit the snooze

Always keep a light in your pocket
You never know when you'll need a fire
Under your ass

Rainbow over the overpass
Better look quick
'Cause it ain't gonna last
