These Times Have Got Me Drinking/Tripping Up the Stairs

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] Oh, these times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs To an empty room left haunted By a ghost who once lived there Now I'm tripping up the stairs [Verse 1] Through a sea of faceless bottles And the stench of the afternoon I crawl into this coffin Sure I was dead before I knew [Verse 2] Ah, morning starts with sunset As the darkness fills my eye It's been so long since another soul Occupied this life [Verse 3] So I head downstairs to a familiar friend Who'll comfort, maybe talk About our roads less travelled And to the best times we ever had And to the best times we ever had [Chorus 1] Oh, these times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs To an empty room left haunted By a ghost who once lived there [Verse 4] Ah, peace be with the troubled As these times now make it clear Try forget until it's over When the last call splits your ear [Chorus 2] These times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs Never asked for the perfect savior I never wanted, though I cared Now I'm tripping up the stairs [Verse 5] So I'll crucify another To nail away the fear But don't pity me, I'm just broken Who'll be the next brave volunteer? Who'll be the next brave volunteer? [Chorus 3] Oh, these times have all us drinkin' As we're trippin' up the stairs To an empty room left haunted By a ghost who once lived there [Chorus 2] These times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs Never asked for a perfect savior Never wanted, though I cared Now I'm tripping up the stairs [Outro] Mind yourself! The best times we ever had!
