I Get High

(album: Keep Your Wig On - 2004)

Too bad, I don't get my own way
Want champagne, all they got is Cabernet and I'm wasting all my time
I feel good, but there's a tear in my eye
Rain falling from a cloudless sky, I get high, forget about it all

Red lights flashing behind my cracked up rear-view mirror
Thunder crashing down, and screaming in my ear
I guess, I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back, I'm only here for a limited time
Probably see me hanging around by the railroad tracks, I get high

We used to have a house down by the shore
Every night, we'd take a walk to the liquor store
And we'd get wasted all the time, I hit the city, when I lost ya, girl
Not so pretty, it's a different world, I get high, forget about it all

Red lights flashing behind my cracked up rear-view mirror
Thunder crashing down and screaming in my ear
I guess, I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back, I'm only here for a limited time
And then I got a bag to pack

I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down

Too bad, I don't get my own way
Maybe you and me can try to get together some day
Because I'm wasting all my time
I feel good, but there's a tear in my eye
Rain falling from a cloudless sky, I get high, forget about it all

I get high, forget about it all
I get high, forget about it all
