These Times Have Got Me Drinking / Tripping Up the Stairs

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 trippin' up the stairs Through a sea of faceless bottles And the stench of the afternoon I crawl into this coffin Sure I was dead before I knew Ah, mornin' starts with sunset As the darkness fills my eye It's been so long since another soul Occupied this life 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 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 Peace be with the troubled As the these times now make it clear Try forget until it's over When the last call splits your ear Oh, these times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs Never asked for the perfect saviour Never wanted though I cared Now I'm trippin' up the stairs 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? 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 Oh, these times have got me drinkin' As I'm trippin' up the stairs Never asked for a perfect saviour Never wanted though I cared Now I'm trippin' up the stairs Mind yourself
