Lyrics Colin Hay – I’m Going To Get You Stoned

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

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’

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
