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
