“altered states” (lyrics)

INTRO:

“ghost…”

are you really there miss hubbard?
are you really there?
hiding in some haunted cupboard
are you really there?

saddled to my holy hearse
she wouldn’t be the first
(so) are you?…are you really there?
are you?…are you really there?

PART 2:

last call for alcohol
yea, y’all know what you’re missing

for there’s a deep-fried suicide brewing in the kitchen

and i’m a well-worn world warrior wonderin wonderin why…

wonderin why…wonderin why…

PART 3:

stoned at last!
stoned at last!
i have surrendered at last
now i’ve got grass up my ass

no longer sick in the head
i put my baby to bed

put all my demons to rest
i let em all off my chest

never enough but now i’m feeling alright…

although she had me in cuffs by the end of the night…

PART 4:

too much wiping out…

need more reeling in…

let’s take the scenic route…

let’s let them games begin…

and take the long way home…let’s take the long way home…

let’s take the long way home…

OUTRO:

the ghost of a criticism sinking in…again…

(i’m popping pimples again…)

step right in…to the ruins…

the ghost of a criticism sinking in…again…

(i’m popping pills again…)

step right in…to the ruins…

the ghost of a criticism sinking in…

(you’re only ordinary…)

step right in…to the ruins…

step right in…and you’re gonna be fine…

(and take it…to the limit…one more time…)
