High Hopes Lyrics - Monterey - 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 woudn't recognise your fears 

But I've got high, I've got high 

I've got high hopes tonight 

I got high alright
