High Hopes

Another dream goes up in smoke, huh

And so, fire me up, another toke

Yeah, I'm comin' on

I've got master plans, by the dozens

Flashin' through my brain, when I get buzzin'

Oh, suddenly, they're gone



All the inspiration, runnin' through your head

Instant stimulation, oh, you're runnin' on

You got high hopes and they're up in smoke



Up all night, tweakin' every detail

The way I've got it, this could never fail

Hey, this could be the big one

High hopes, come and go so high

But comin' down, fade away and die

High hopes, I got them, more than a dream

They all get wasted, yeah



All the inspiration, runnin' through your head

Instant stimulation, oh, you're runnin' on

You got high hopes, you're livin' on high hopes

High hopes, oh yeah, but they're wasted



Hey, watch it



Now listen, all that talk is gettin' nothin' done

Ain't it hard to move, when your body's numb

Put it off another day

High hopes, come and go so high

And comin' down fade away and die



High hopes, they're nothin' more than a dream

They all get wasted, yeah

All the inspiration, runnin' through your head

Instant stimulation, they're givin' you

Oh, you got, well, oh, high hopes



You're livin' on high hopes

You got high hopes, high hopes, yeah

High hopes, keep livin' on high hopes, high hopes
