I'm Going To Get You Stoned lyrics - Colin Hay

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 nowhere near enough

We're all doing time

I can hear it ticking while I'm talking

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

We could see the doors of heaven
