Vs1
Everything is exactly right when I
Walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from Seven Eleven
/ &
In St. Ides Heaven
Vs2
I been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars
Chorus
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
Just the Chords Essentially]
Vs3
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smiling you think it's a frown
Turned upside down
Vs4
Cause everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all gotta say what they should and shouldn't do
Though they don't have a clue
Chorus
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
And I won't come down for anyone
