[Verse 1]
You were passed out on the sofa
Cigarette burns and coffee stains
Loose change in your pocket
Naltrexone in your veins
[Verse 2]
They got a scanner at the airport now
And a dropout in a Kevlar vest
I can hear the timer
Ticking in my chest
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew comes through?
[Verse 3]
When you get out on your own again
If you ever do shake free
If you find yourself in Portland
Ask about me
[Verse 4]

What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
