New

I can't pay my rent
Every dollar I've saved is a dollar I've spent
I'm still hellbent
On gettin' rid of it all so I can die content

Brand new town
No, I wasn't born here, but I can burn it down
I got a thorn in my crown
Cuz the last one I left didn't want me around

I wanna say that I'm passing on through
I won't miss you enough to stay
That the pressure on my chest is just altitude
But it's too soon to say too late
Too soon to say too late

This world's passing me by
But I can only pass one car at a time
It's a shameful crime
How ordinary it is outside

Nothing happens on this street
All the neighbors sit out just smokin' fireweed
What's the cost of my need?
Can you measure a life-worth in gasoline?

I wanna say that I'm passing on through
I won't miss you enough to stay
That the pressure on my chest is just altitude
But it's too soon to say too late
Too soon to say too late
