So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I'm not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you

So guided, bound and willed
When the bar dried up...
You were already gone
[Verse 2]

There was another life that I might've had
I know the feeling well of longing
For something that's lost
I feel you like a phantom limb
[Chorus]
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I'm not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
So guided, bound and willed
When I sobered up...
You were already gone
Oh shit!
Oh no!
Where'd you go?
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I'm not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
So guided, bound and willed
When the bar dried up...
When I sobered up...
You were already gone
And I'm shit out of luck
