Flogging Molly - These Times Have Got Me Drinking/Tripping Up the Stairs lyrics

Oh, these times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
To an empty room left haunted
By a ghost who once lived there
Now I’m tripping up the stairs

Through a sea of faceless bottles
And the stench of the afternoon
I crawl into this coffin
Sure I was dead before I knew

Ah, morning starts with sunset
As the darkness fills my eye
It’s been so long since another soul
Occupied this life

So I head downstairs to a familiar friend
Who’ll comfort, maybe talk
About our roads less travelled
And to the best times we ever had
And to the best times we ever had

Oh, these times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
To an empty room left haunted
By a ghost who once lived there

Ah, peace be with the troubled
As these times now make it clear
Try forget until it’s over
When the last call split's your ear

These times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
Never asked for the perfect savior
I never wanted, though I cared
Now I’m tripping up the stairs

So I’ll crucify another
To nail away the fear
But don’t pity me, I’m just broken
Who’ll be the next brave volunteer?
Who’ll be the next brave volunteer?

Oh, these times have all us drinkin'
As we’re trippin' up the stairs
To an empty room left haunted
By a ghost who once lived there

These times have got me drinkin'
As I’m trippin' up the stairs
Never asked for a perfect savior
Never wanted, though I cared
Now I’m tripping up the stairs

Mind yourself! The best times we ever had!
