Another dream, goes up in smoke
Huh!
And so fire me up, another toke
Yeah, I'm commin' on
I've got master plans, by the dozens
A-flashin' through my brain, when I get buzzin'
Whoa!
Suddenly, they're gone
All that inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
Oh, your runnin' on
You got...
High hopes
And they're up in smoke
Up all night, tweakin' every detail
The way I've got it, this could never fail
Hey! This could be the big one
High hopes
Come and go, so high
But commin' down, fade away and die
High hopes
I got them, more than a dream
They all get wasted
Yeah!
Ohhh, the inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
Your runnin' on
Oh!
You got...high hopes
Your livin' on
High hopes
High hopes
Oh yeah...
But they're wasted
All that talk, is gettin' nuthin' done
Ain't it hard to move, when your body's numb
Put it off, another day
High hopes
Come and goin' so high
And commin' down, fade away and die
High hopes
They're nuthin' more than a dream
They all get wasted
Ohhh, the inspiration, runnin' through your head
Instant stimulation
They're givin' you
Oh!...you got
Welllll Oh,
High hopes
Your livin' on
High hopes
You got
High hopes
High hopes
AAAAAAH! Yeah
High hopes
Keep livin' on
High hopes
High hopes
