Hopelessly Stoned

(album: Old Tyme Religion - 2011)

Can't remember the things I've known
Take a track and fill out a form
Build another now, I'm on my own
Just hopeless, hopelessly stoned.

Fill my boots up to the sky
Try to find a new supply
Ask me if, but don't ask why
I'm hopeless, hopelessly stoned

You're a picture of restraint
You stood aside while I made my play
But anyway I was outta the game
And just hopeless, hopelessly stoned

One degree is all it takes
To move apart and separate
Level out as I raise the stakes
And just hopeless, hopelessly stoned

Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned

Like a bug on my windowpane
Safe inside from the wind and rain
Try to fly but it's all in vain
Just hopeless, hopelessly stoned

Won't let you in
But I don't want out
I can't get up
If I don't get down
From a whisper to a shout
I'm just hopeless, hopelessly stoned

Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned
Hopelessly stoned

Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Gotta get up
Back up to zero

If I get there
Will you want me?
Cause there's nothing out there
Waiting for me
If I don't have you

(Anything left unattended
May be removed
And later destroyed...)

Hopeless
Hopelessly stoned
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Hopelessly stoned
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Gotta get up
Back up to zero
Hopelessly stoned

If I get there
Will you want me?
Cause there's nothing out there
Waiting for me
If I don't have you
