*ben folds*
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
There's an awkward young shadow who waits in the hall.
Yeah he's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes;
Things that remind him that life has been good.
Twenty-five years he's worked at the paper
The man's here to take him downstairs;

And "i'm sorry mr. jones it's time"

There was no party and there were no songs
'cause today's just a day like the day that he started
And no one is left here who knows his first name
And life barrels on like a runaway train
Where the passengers change but they don't change anything
You get off someone else can get on

And "i'm sorry mr. jones it's time"

*w/john mcrae*
Street light shines through the shades
Casting lines on the floor and lines on his face
He reflects on the day.
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Projecting some slides
Onto a plain white canvas
And traces it fills in the spaces.
He turns off the slides and it doesn't look right.
Yeah and all of these bastards have taken his place
He's forgotten but not yet gone.

And "i'm sorry mr. jones...
And "i'm sorry mr. jones...
And "i'm sorry mr. jones it's time"

*ben folds: "john mcrae of cake y'all"*
