[00:20.55] Nabokov is sun-licked now
[00:23.05] Upon the beach at Gruenewald
[00:25.63] Brilliant and naked just
[00:28.02] The way that authors look
[00:35.69] Clare and Lady Manners drink
[00:38.07] Until the other cows go home
[00:40.76] Gossip till their lips are bleeding politics and all
[00:49.29] I'd rather be high
[00:54.30] I'd rather be flying
[00:59.43] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[01:04.47] Than training these guns on those men in the sand
[01:09.46] I'd rather be high
[01:21.09] The Thames was black, the tower dark
[01:23.47] I flew to Cairo, find my regiment
[01:26.36] City's full of generals
[01:28.42] And generals full of shit
[01:35.98] I stumble to the graveyard and I lay down by my parents,
[01:40.56] Whisper "Just remember duckies
[01:43.28] Everybody gets got"
[01:50.04] I'd rather be high
[01:54.92] I'd rather be flying
[02:00.04] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[02:05.05] Than training these guns of those men in the sand
[02:10.18] I'd rather be high
[02:21.55] I'm seventeen and my looks can prove it
[02:26.44] I'm so afraid that I will lose it
[02:31.43] I'd rather smoke and phone my ex
[02:33.95] Be pleading for some teenage sex, yeah
[02:40.33] I'd rather be high
[02:45.40] I'd rather be flying
[02:50.52] I'd rather be dead or out of my head
[02:55.52] Than training these guns on the men in the sand
[03:00.66] I'd rather be high,
[03:05.69] I'd rather be flying
[03:10.86] I'd rather be high
[03:15.87] I'd rather be flying
