High Hopes Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

The letter said it all we′re shipping out
I know they got it wrong without a doubt
The war ain't over there, it′s here with me
The battle of the bloody century
What is going on here, what becomes the lot of us?
I thought I would complain, dear
When joining with the great circus


But I've got high, I've got high
I′ve got high hopes tonight
I got high, alright

Settle up your bill, the raining shouts
The patter of forsaken voices loud
Lined throughout the pockets of my vest
A green-backed skeleton holds in the rest
Your symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer years
I′d look you in the eyes, but I wouldn't recognize your fears

But I′ve got high, I've got high
I′ve got high hopes tonight
I got high, alright
