The Milk Carton Kids - Monterey

High Hopes

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
