Try to put yourself in my place

It's written all over my face

I'm closer to God

I've shed my dirty old skin

Grown a brand new feeling

I'm closer to God

Thinking fast and feeling free

And there's no-one who can touch me

Higher than the Universe itself

Thanks I don't need no help

I don't have to see my picture

Or my name in a music paper

Now I'm close to God

I don't have trouble sleepingI don't have to go to meetings

When I'm close to God

Thinking fast and feeling free

And there's no one who can touch me

Higher than the Universe itself

Thanks I don't need no help

It's a secret no one keeps it

Reveals the places others try to hide

It tips the balance from the violence

That lies within the bottles on the side

Now we're high as monkeys

Now we've come so far

You and I are simple friends no more

Now we're high as monkeys

Opened a few doors

Let the sunshine crash into our souls

Try to put yourself in my place

It's written all over my face

I'm closer to God

I've shed my dirty old skin

Grown a brand new feeling

I'm closer to God

Thinking fast and feeling free

And there's no-one who can touch me

Higher than the Universe itself

It's a secret no one keeps it

Reveals the places others try to hide

It tips the balance from the violence

That lies within the bottles on the side

Now we're high as monkeys

Now we've come so far

You and I are simple friends no more

Now we're high as monkeys

Opened a few doors

Let the sunshine crash into our souls
