You tell me you were born today In the year of '97 What was it like back in my day As I go swimming in your eyes Here take this number down Call me when you wake up I will come around And we can spend the day And I'm going to get you stoned Like it's 1967 I'm going to get you stoned When here on earth it felt like heaven But then the hammer it came down Nothing changed except the season They even took away his crown He took it back and won the day Turn this ship around We're taking on way too much water We're about to run aground Can't steer the ship without a rudder So I'm going to get you stoned Like it's 1967 I'm going to get you stoned When here on earth it felt like heaven And I'm still dreaming So don't wake me up This life is so fleeting There's now here near enough We're all doin' time I can hear it tickin' while I'm talkin' Not living is the crime I squeeze it each and every day Well I must be on my way I'm still running chasing dollars It's just a habit now I'd say It sure beats lying in the sun I'm going to get you stoned Like it's 1967 Yeah, I'm going to get you stoned When we could see the doors of heaven
