Duncan, where have you gone?
It's been so, so long
Has London broken your heart?
It happens to the best of us
Duncan, the most real God, flows through, through you
There's someone, for you to love, whom you will find in due time
Do you feel like you don't really know yourself?
'Cause the people you meet, they just seem someone else
And now your biggest dream is just to be a stranger, passed on the street
Duncan, send us a sign, that you're all, alright
Have you sunken further below, the cold [?] you've ever known
They've raised you the best they possibly could
And still you've felt unloved, always misunderstood
And now your biggest dream is just to be a stranger, passed on the street
Duncan, where have you gone?

Painkillers and vodka compared to the bright, mariachi-studded “Something’s Rattling (Cowpoke)” before it, this Former Lives b-side sits right at home thematically, amidst the wreckage of past loves, Gibbard summoning a choir of vocal overdubs to make sure this dude “Duncan” is alright.
