High

I woke up thinking a fifth of Angostura
Could be the recompense I deserve
Other James he asked what was done to me
But this Jim didn't offer a word
It must be nice just living the high life
It must be good just breezing along
It must be sweet not needing a reason
To keep this caboose's conductor movin' on, movin' on... but she said, but she said
"How you gonna miss the kisses that you get from me
And how you gonna ignore love from two shores boy can't you see
They have rose-colored glasses, well your specks are flecked with brown
And I just hope to God the water washes them while you go down
I feel like I'm watching you drown
I said I'm alright and I wrote a winner
I gave her music but never the words
I'm pretty sure I am the sneakiest coyote bunny tweety bird
That ever did elude the hunt I asked her if she curred... and she said, and she said
I can see beyond your lame attempts at subterfuge
I can feel what's on your chest cuz I'm in there with you
Some men have blinders well you've never seen a stitch at all
And I just askin' Allah that you see the light before you fall
Don't get high, please call

Here we go now setting fires we don't need, it's all
For the smoke cuz when we choke we get to feel - tears fall
I know I'm not the only one
Getting higher to get closer to the sun - tell me
What we did last night was equally as fun
I don't want to hear I was the only one

I woke up drunk on grandeur and glory
It's not illusion if you know you're right
It's meant to be cuz I made 27 and I keep seeing eleven eleven
And tricking the world into giving me one more morning light
I don't see no warning light, alright?
But it don't matter, guess you haven't heard
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence
And I trust anything named rummy gin: two of my favorite words
She plead...
For a change of heart but cardiac has no returns
For a brand new start but I hear Nero fiddling, watch me burn
And watch me realize through open eyes and glasses rose
That I could get where I want to be if I could take in what she knows
But she said please get high don't call.

Here we go now setting fire's we don't need, it's all
For the smoke cuz when we choke we get to feel - tears fall
I know I'm not the only one
Getting higher to get closer to the sun - tell me
What we did last night was equally as fun
I don't want to hear I was the only one
