High Hopes - Sicko

Billed to be the best night of the year

The stage is set, the coast is clear

Remember last year when the car broke down

Stranded on the other side of town

The sun came up we pushed the Dart to the station by the park

They start selling again at six

Mechanic got an early start, while we waited for the part

We sat and drank ourselves sick

Clouded up and the snow came down all day

Tonight the shows at least an hour’s drive away

I propose this time we take my car

Can’t miss it, it will be the best by far

The party came and went, the carpet’s soaked, the keg is spent

And there’s a ringing in my ears

Everyone said it was the best you and I cannot attest

I guess we had more fun last year

The sun came up and it’s shining in my eyes

Managed to miss the best night of our lives

Walk through the snow until you feel the sting

Big expectations and high hopes can bring

Why do you insist to build up everything

The best thing ever don’t exist

It’s got a certain ring

Why do you insist to build up everything

The best thing ever don’t exist
