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
