Lyrics
High Times
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm gonna leave the ground
I wanna be unbound
Look and it's a long way down
Drifting away
I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'm gonna rise so high
A shadow in a sunset sky
Shrinking away
Yet another nine to five
Is there anybody left alive?
What's the point of choosing sides?
When you know what the mirror hides
Try to take the higher ground
But the poles are shifting upside down
Like a shadow in a sunset sky
Shrinking away
But who will save you?
(High times) and we let it show
(High times) and you never know
High times when you're giving it all away
They drew a chem-trail cross
Upon the noon day sun
Still they'll try to hide the other side
'Til the chains have come undone
I try to take the higher ground
But the poles are shifting upside down
Like a shadow in a sunset sky
Shrinking away
Who's gonna save you?
(High times) but you get your fix
(High times) when the light plays tricks
High times, you're giving it all away
Dearly beloved high times
(High times) better take your pills
(High times) but the kindness kills
(High times) when you're giving it all away
Ooh, but the future came today
(Tell me, who will save you from yourself?)
Or will it all go down in flames?
(But if it’s not you, then no one else)
You're the only one to blame
(Only you can save you from yourself)
But from a bird's eye view
Concealed in silent skies
(Only you will ever break through
To where the daylight never dies)
Hope is on the rise
Well, we were worlds apart
But for the chemical embrace
And in the aftermath of circumstances
Staring me in the face, oh
(High times) when you can't let go
(High times) baby, you should've known
(High times) when you're giving it all away
(High times) when the tremor stills
(High times) when the kindness kills
(High times) when you're giving it all away
High Times, oh
Dearly beloved, high times, oh
Dearly beloved, hope you survive
These high times
Is there anybody left alive?
(High times) oh, the kindness kills
(High times) (don’t) don’t let the kindness kill
(High times) Oh no, don’t let the kindness kill
