stoned on a monday (friend of mine) Lyrics

To be stoned

On a monday morning

How sweet life can be

To be high as a kite while the world is yawning

People dragging their feet

Well we all got to work for a living

We got mouths to feed

But they've blocked off the road

Until the wreck gets towed

So get stoned on a monday with me

In the zone of the rat race fever I

Damn near lost my mind

Alone in the car with a long lost freedom

I drunk myself blind

See you can't make something from nothing

But nothing's sure something to be

Loosen the load

And take off those clothes

Let's get stoned on a monday for free

5 days at the St Kilda adventure park

Drinking from the bottle

And shooting up way past dark

Looking out for each other when the cops turned up

We all got our stories straight, no one cracked up

And I know it all turned to shit,

In some ways I'm still dealing with it,

It's a life that you choose said the front page news

But she didn't deserve to die in that hotel room,

I know he was a kid but it don't make it right,

There'll be blood on his hands for the rest of his life

Sometimes I find it hard to fall asleep at night

I guess I just miss that friend of mine

I don't regret but I don't forget

And I don't believe that anyone

Deals their own deck

I really don't mind being alone each night

And I really won't cry when I've done my time

Truth be told I'm doing just fine,

I just miss a friend of mine

Mostly we live like the others,

But some others live to be free

It's the way that it goes

On the untravelled road

Let's get stoned one last time in peace
