I want to tell you a story |
|
About a man who did die |
|
And all he wanted from living |
|
Was the chance to get high |
|
So he set out to driving |
|
To do his dealing and score |
|
Well, he climbed up that mountain |
|
Yeah, yeah, ha had to have more |
|
He had to get high |
|
Next step up the ladder |
|
Was a needle so fine |
|
Just a crack-headed buster |
|
What better reason to fly |
|
He had a wife and some children |
|
And a Cadillac too |
|
He's got his head down that spiral |
|
There's nothing that we can do |
|
He had to get high |
|
So high Let's get high [Chorus:] |
|
He's lying alone in the gutter at night |
|
No friends to help him, nobody in sight |
|
Done all his talking to angels alone |
|
No hope in this life |
|
When you're scarred to the bone |
|
Y'know there's no death or glory |
|
When you're riding the wind |
|
Just the crash and explosion |
|
Of your head giving in |
|
Turning left at damnation |
|
Turning right at the fire |
|
In your veins there's a burning |
|
For your quest to get high |
|
He had to get high |
|
So high Let's get high |
