“Watch You Go By” is the ninth song from Ezra Furman’s third solo album, Perpetual Motion People.
The song gives a glimpse at how Ezra deals with her hectic life of Perpetual Motion, sometimes simply sitting and drinking, and passively watching the world go by.
[Verse 1]
It's fine being drunk on the weekend
But it's finer being drunk all week
I feel good
I feel bad
I don't know
I miss my mom and my dad
And I see hellfire in your rosy cheek
[Chorus]
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you now
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna get old so god damn fast
Pass me that bottle with the XXX
And I've got a bright future in music
As long as I never find true happiness
[Chorus]
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you now
[Bridge]
Run, run
[Verse 3]
I think I finally found my home
Here on the downtown sidewalk, on my own
And I can't tell music from heaven
From music from hell
But I guess I'll find out before too long
[Verse 4]
This life is a fever dream
You can kick
Honey, you can scream
I just put up my feet, and I drink all day
[Verse 5]
And I can see your destiny:
To lay down in the grave right next to me
Put your head on my shoulder. It'll be OK
But for now
[Chorus]
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you
I watch you go by
And I watch you now
