These Times Have Got Me Drinking/Tripping Up the Stairs

[Chorus 1]
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 tripping up the stairs

[Verse 1]
Through a sea of faceless bottles
And the stench of the afternoon
I crawl into this coffin
Sure I was dead before I knew

[Verse 2]
Ah, morning starts with sunset
As the darkness fills my eye
It’s been so long since another soul
Occupied this life

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 4]
Ah, peace be with the troubled
As these times now make it clear
Try forget until it’s over
When the last call splits your ear

[Chorus 2]
These times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
Never asked for the perfect savior
I never wanted, though I cared
Now I’m tripping up the stairs

[Verse 5]
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?

[Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 2]
These times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
Never asked for a perfect savior
Never wanted, though I cared
Now I’m tripping up the stairs

[Outro]
Mind yourself!
The best times we ever had!
