St. ides heaven

Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides Heaven
I´ve 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
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It´ll go around with anyone
But it won´t come down for anyone
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smile and you think it´s a frown turned upside-down
Cos everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they´ve known
And they all gotta say what you should and shouldn´t do
Though they don´t have a clue
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It´ll go around with anyone
But it won´t come down for anyone
And I won´t come down for anyone
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides Heaven
I´ve 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
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It´ll go around with anyone
But it won´t come down for anyone
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smile and you think it´s a frown turned upside-down
Cos everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they´ve known
And they all gotta say what you should and shouldn´t do
Though they don´t have a clue
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It´ll go around with anyone
But it won´t come down for anyone
And I won´t come down for anyone
