Just Passin' Through

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 & find a hole in the middle
 Look straight down & 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 commonplace
 Seems to me a bad wrap's laid on death
 [?] to breathe your own last breath
 Aint as if I don't really love livin'
 Not the least bit tired of the takin' & 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 commonplace
