STONED AND DISTRACTED
Copyright 2001 Michael E. Walker

Chorus 1

Dead of eye, habitually high
prescription junkie.
Face of green from a video screen
a joystick for a monkey

Verse 1

Coffee with Prozac and something for pain
Martinis for lunch a dinner video game

Pre-Chorus

Newspaper comics, "I Love Lucy" twice a day, a nick-at-night junkie
you’re so stoned and distracted
you’re sleeping your life away

way too high

Chorus 2 (repeat 1)

Verse 2

Don’t pick up the phone, your line is disrupted
No crisis can wake you, your brain is corrupted

Pre-Chorus

Newspaper comics, "I Love Lucy" twice a day, you major in minors
You’re so stoned and distracted
you’re sleeping your life away

drive right by

Chorus 3 (half)

Dead of eye, habitually high
lunatic junkie

Bridge

Your pharmacist is your only lover
his kids tuition you have covered
flying high

Chorus 4 (repeat 1)

Verse 3

Swimming like Elvis, caught in the undertow
Your switch is dimmed like a fuse set to blow

Pre-Chorus (repeat)

Final Chorus (half)

Dead of eye, legally high
prescription junkie
