(sounds like dirt xxvii) high on amphetamines
everything is exactly right
when i walk around here drunk every night
with an open container from squirrel is my spirit animal
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

(sounds like dirt xii) everything means nothing to me
someone found the future as a statue in a fountain
at attention, looking backward within a pool of water
wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder
who keeps singing over everything
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
i picked up the song and found my picture in the paper
the reflection in the water showed an iron man still trying to salute
people from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
