Departure - Live From The National Bowl, Milton Keynes / 1995

[Intro]
We're gonna do a new song, this is called "Departure"
It's about- it's about passage, and uh- it's about life and life is about-
You know, part of life is death and that's what this song is about
It's a new song, and uh- we like it a lot
Here you go

[Verse 1]
Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me
Salt Lake City, come in spring over the salt flats
A hailstorm brought you back to me

[Chorus]
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes

[Verse 2]
Departure, godspeed, blеss his heart, good Lord
What a fuck-up, what a fighter
A free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glidеr
Hung on the line like a, a poison spider
Win a eulogy from William Greider
A car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter
A bus plunge, avalanche, poison spider
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider

[Chorus]
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes
(I'm carried away)
Here it comes, bad, bad

[Bridge]
Go, go, go, go, yeah
Go, go, go, go, yeah
Go, go, go, yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, everybody is young forever
There's so much to tell you, so little time
I've come a long way since, whatever
Shit, I still see that word and think of you
But there is so much that I can't do, yeah
There's so much
And you will be young forever
There is so much that I can't do
There is so much that I can't do

[Chorus]
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes, bad, bad
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes
I'm carried away
Here it comes, bad, bad

[Outro]
Yeah, uh
Hey Bill?
Yes, Michael?
Why don't you do what you do best?
And I'm not talking about a tractor
That can only mean one thing-
