[Chorus]
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
[Verse 1]
I've been searching the system for a way out
Thirsty for the risk and not the payout
It's merky in the midst of all the mayhem
And though I made out say nout
Defining my thoughts within the playpen
As they playout I swear I smell a stray scent
A glimmer of alternative arrangement
Without the thrill of conversation
Run of the mill intoxication
Suddenly still I'm filled with inspiration
Without calamity to kill the concentration
Infect my sanity with songs of sanitation
Every day I give the sun a salutation
For warming up the atmosphere and clearing up the mayhem
In my manic machinations
And as the battle with the rain starts to fade out
The panic and the pain dissipate
And cattle that have strayed make their way back home
And the rattle that the babe through
Reappears to live another day too
Though the tears keep slipping on away
It's a tickle and a chuckle for the blame
Ignore the course and the seasons change
The cores and the reasons remain
[Chorus]
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
[Verse 2]
In the land of the unwashed and unloved
Misguided mismatched and mystery mishaps
Mr and Mrs become one
Sitting in the midst of the lump sum
Fidget and twist to get undone
Wishing for a twinkle in the humdrum
Sprinkle of delight on the sliver of extraordinary pie
Opportunity to wriggle from the frying pan and jump clear of the fire
So with affinity and fortune on their side
They leap across the cavernous divide
Ignoring all cautionary tales from the tribe
And taking to the water with the ebbing of the tide
A wind in their sails the horizon in their sights
And planets all aligned
And with their minds no longer so confined
They find themselves adrift in an ocean of divine light
Dreams come to life as they motion through the limelight
And as they're floating through the timeline
Scenes of their twilight flicker in the firelight
Giving them a glimpse into the far-flung future of their lifetime together
Giving them a lifeline forever
[Chorus]
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
Only passing through
Never meant to stay
In the search for something new
Might be back one day
Only passing through
Might be back one day
