High Hopes Lyrics


The letter said it all
We're shipping out
I know they got it wrong
Without a doubt
The war ain't over there
It's here with me
The battle of the bloody centuryWhat is going on here?
What becomes the log of us?
I thought I would complain dear
In joining with the great circusBut I've got high
I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I've got high alrightSettle up your bill
the raining shouts
The patter of forsaken voice
is loud
Lined throughout the pockets
of my vest

The green back skeleton
holds in the restA symphony of mercy
Falls upon no deafer ears
I'd look you in the eyes but
I wouldn't recognize your fearsBut I've got high
I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I've got high alright

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Their songs disguise the youth of the members of the band. Befittingly, so do the old guitars they play and old clothing they wear. But to be sure, The Milk Carton Kids have something new to present: harmonies & minimalist instrumentation which are a clear reference to times passed, but with an eye intently on the future; a perspective on coming-of-age in the eye of a present-day storm; and the chronicling of an American struggle for simplicity, at least musically.
