High coin
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 goin' for high coin baby
Or I ain't goin' nowhere at all
I'm goin' for high coin baby
To keep me high and in and up and down and all
Some others living by the rules are turning
mortals into fools like you and I
I'm fine. It's my time.
It looks like high time baby
to stop our lovin' nickel dime
We're in the high times baby
Where words are lost and tempest tossed in lemon lime.
When times and places effervesce
In words of wonder from down under
I'm no less. I'm fine. It's my time.
