Can't Get High

Transcribed by:

I've been working all day

I've been shaking it loose

It's been raining for hours

I've been spilling my juice (?)

Nothing means nothing

I couldn't care less

And now that you're gone

I can't even guess

I've got snakes in my cellar

I've got blood in my bed

Bombs in the closet

They're all painted cherry red

And a feel like a mad scientist

I've got loose change in my head

Nothing but trouble these days

I eat bullets in my bread



Now that you're gone

I'm sober every night

I can't get high - no -

I can't get right



I'm a romantic (?)

(?) everday bend

Losin' a gamble

But I get my revenge

Start thinking about thunder

And I get mad again

Soaking up electricity

Like bourbon in gin (?)



Now that you're gone

I'm sober every night

I can't get high

I can't get right



Hallucinated green light

And I slammed on the gas

My performance ain't perfect

But it's loud and it's fast

Set sail for the new world

And I burned down the mast

Well, it wasn't the first time

And I know it won't be the last



Now that you're gone

I'm sober every night

I can't get high - no -

I can't get right

Now that you're gone, honey,

I'm sober tonight

I can't get high - no -

I can't - get - right

Get right
