The Mountain Goats
Cleaning Crew
[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]
Dig up the first revision
The one who's got less to lose
Look on еvery lamppost
From here to Baton Rougе
[Pre-Chorus]
Ask yourself one question
Then ask yourself again
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew comes through?
[Bridge]
It’s better if you have a plan
It's better if you have a plan
[Outro]
I saw the future in an oil slick
It told me what I need to know
Leave a little stain behind you
Everywhere you go
