Stoned

STONED: drunk, captivated, ecstatic, sent out of this world.

'He could be a mean drunk,' said saxophonist Artie Drelinger. '[…] Booze was his priority, and when he was stoned he could be a son of a bitch.'

Riccio nodded toward a boy across the floor and said, “See that kid? He’s on dope.” The boy was standing against a wall, staring vacantly at the dancers, his face fixed in a gentle, faraway smile. Every few seconds, he would wipe his nose with the back of his hand. “Man, that Jo-Jo!” Benny said. “He’s stoned all the time.” “What’s he on—horse?” Riccio asked, meaning heroin. “Who knows with that creep?” Benny said. I asked Benny if any special kind of boy went in for dope. “The creeps,” he said. “You know, the goofballs.” He searched for a word. “The weak kids. Like Jo-Jo. There ain’t nothing the guys can’t do to him. Last week, we took his pants off and made him run right in the middle of the street without them.”

Out here on the perimeter, there are no stars / Out here we is stoned, immaculate

And me, I'm flying in my taxi / Taking tips, and getting stoned / I go flying so high, when I'm stoned

Stoned in the mall the kids play / And in this way wish away each day

"Hey babe. Claire and her mom got way too stoned and a random borzoi wandered into the house and we need an adult. ... Yeah that's pretty much how I expected today to go too."
