| Tryin' to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Tryin' to get heaven high.
|
| Tried to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Tryin' to get heaven high.
|
| Oh, I walked through the valley of the shadow of death,
|
| And I felt the devil’s hand.
|
| I looked that mother right dead in the eye
|
| And said «Please won’t you tell me your plan?»
|
| Well, the devil stopped dead there in his tracks,
|
| Said «On your own two feet you stand.
|
| I had nothing to do with you being here.
|
| You got here on your own, young man.»
|
| Well, fine by me, 'cause I came to play.
|
| Don’t need you to help me along.
|
| I’ve been doing good for far too long
|
| And I’m ready to do some wrong!
|
| I want to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Want to get heaven high.
|
| I want to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Want to get heaven high.
|
| Now my hair stood up when I heard the hooves
|
| And the rumble of the fiery breath.
|
| I was real surprised to see four horsemen:
|
| War, Hunger, Sickness and Death.
|
| So I said «Hi.» |
| They said «Hello»
|
| And «Would you like a ride?»
|
| I thought about it for just a quick sec,
|
| Said «Only if you let me drive.»
|
| So hand over them reins, Cause I came to play,
|
| Don’t need you to help me along.
|
| I’ve been doing good for far too long
|
| And I’m ready to do some wrong!
|
| Tryin' to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Tryin' to get heaven high.
|
| Tryin' to get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Tryin' to get heaven high
|
| Tryin' to be…
|
| Sometimes I can be so high.
|
| Gonna touch the sky.
|
| Now I been too far, I went too fast,
|
| Said «To hell with the boundaries.»
|
| I kicked down doors, I tore off clothes,
|
| And I paid the penalties.
|
| But through it all, the Lord Above,
|
| He always seemed to smile at me.
|
| Well, I hope he stays in that smiling mood,
|
| ‘Cause I’m fixing to get greedy.
|
| Get out of my way, ‘cause I came to play.
|
| I came to tear up the town.
|
| I’ve been doing good for far too long
|
| And I’m ready to do some wrong!
|
| I’m gonna get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Gonna get heaven high.
|
| I’m gonna get high,
|
| Oh, why.
|
| Gonna get heaven high.
|
| I’m gonna get hi-i-i-i-i-igh-igh,
|
| I’m gonna get heaven high.
|
| I’m gonna get high,
|
| High
|
| High
|
| High
|
| I’m gonna get heaven high. |
