Walk Away

There's been the slightest change in plans
We've replaced you
Clean your desk out, leave the keys
Shut the door please

Take a deep breath
Walk away from that slow death
Count your blessings with one finger now

It's a complicated thing
So I’ll be leaving
Wipe that doubt right off your face
Now you've got your own space

Take a deep breath
Walk away from that slow death
Count your blessings
With one finger

Now you have a cry
You have a smoke
You wave goodbye

You watch the world from overpasses
Through pink eyes
And rose-colored glasses
A slow pink Beetle crawling down the road
Parked on a bluff
The sea below you
The bright pink sunset switched to overload

The front door's padlocked, nailed shut
The Bug's impounded
They've even turned the gas mains off
The alarm's been sounded

Take a deep breath
Run away from that slow death
Count your blessings
With two fingers

Now you have a cry
You start a fire
You wave goodbye
