lyrics

YOU'RE HIGH

i told you once i told you twice you dont treat me very nice and you come around telling me were even. but i did not get my shot in i did not see you on the bottom its too late your already leaving. leaving me with my deceit my lousy year my lousy week and not much to believe in. well i have finally gone insane and if you dont mind andits all the same ill stay here you make those demons pretty

(chorus) and you are high if you think your gonna make it in the city, because i may be a country boy but at least i know what workings for and you just seem to get by on gods pity.

well i said the best to you the horizon up and swallowed you, i looked around saw an empty car space, i saw the ground it looked all dry, saw no clouds in the sky but one it was so out of place. the cattle skulls that i see ask a question one of me well now.... what you gonna do? well i am gonna go insane and if you don't mind if its all the same ill stay here you make these demons pretty.

(chorus)

the ample brains of a can of worms assuring me I'm not alone the sunset never does forget me, i shoot my bullets in the air give the neighbours all a scare and men come and arrest me, but its none to do with you these thoughtless things that i do there is no, no connection, i feel no sun i feel no rain i feel no love i feel no pain and no one sits next to me.

(chorusx2)
