Happier Stoned

A bad day turned out to be fine An old flame turned out to be my best friend I never knew what the nectar could bring I didn't want it to end The Captain's by my side The seas are calm and bright I'm in control But I'm happier stoned Just a buzz to help me see what's there Hidden between the lines Such a world with its death and despair But only dealt to the blind Am I happy? Sure am, man Til the buzz decides to die Then back to life With its dreary schedule And it's all empty at best I can't understand the public's mind Abstinence leaves us with lust If we just let ourselves go for even a night We'd all get swept by the gust Hell, and it ain't so bad
