We get high

Before we get low

And I was walking down in a frosty street

I was looking back for home


We get high

Before we get low

And I was drenched in heat in the city tonight

You pull me back and go

We get high


Well it beats being a rent man

Or when you're down in the roulette mine

And as the city casts its shadow

We commit the perfect crime


We get high

Before we get low

And I was drenched in heat in the city tonight

You pull me back and go


When you're stuck inside your bubble

And people, they're saying it's great

But like so much before us

You'll never escape the fate


We get high

Before we get low

And I was walking down in a frosty street

I was looking back for home

We get high


And I've seen you all down on them drinking signs

With all your money, your money, your money, your money, your money

We get high

The only crime I can never commit on them a street

We got low

Is trying to make all the ends meet

We get high

Now hear this!

Hey fellas!

We got low
