I’m really excited to share today’s song because it’s actually the main song inspiration for a book I’m going to work on… soon? Maybe? Ugh, I’m totally failing on writing lately, but I know I’ll get my head back on straight soon. It’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” by Wakey!Wakey! Not only is their band name awesome, but this song grabbed me from the first time I listened to it and then I got *obsessed* which is pretty normal for me, but this one led to the birth of a new character that will have his own book. I love the story that’s unraveling about him, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. Until then? You’ll just have to enjoy the song as much as I do!

Lyrics

I don’t like staying at home
when the moon is bleeding red.
Woke up stoned in the backseat
from a dream where my teeth fell out of my head.

Cut it up, cut it up, yeah…
Everybody’s on something here.
My godsend chemical best friend
skeleton whispering in my ear.

Walk with me to the end,
stare with me into the abyss.
Do you feel like letting go?
I wonder how far down it is…

Nothing is fun,
not like before,
you don’t get me high anymore.
Used to take one,
now it takes four,
you don’t get me high anymore.

Runnin’ through emergency rooms,
spinning wheels and ceiling fans.
My hand shake cellophane landscape
mannequin (fakin’ it) the best I can.

It’s Cadillac, Cadillac red.
No hands on the steering wheel.
I’m crashing this save-a-ho puppet show
UFO obliterate the way I feel.

Walk with me to the end,
stare with me into the abyss.
Do you feel like letting go?
I wonder how far down it is…

Nothing is fun,
not like before,
you don’t get me high anymore.
Used to take one,
now it takes four,
you don’t get me high anymore.

‘You Don’t Get Me High Anymore’ by Wakey!Wakey!
