about

Song about friends, and their foibles and failed ambitions...

lyrics

Found your dreams in magazines
Made cutups from their pasted faces
And all the while your own smile
Took you to the darkest places
You stayed numb and played dumb
And honed your antisocial graces

The high life – the low-lives
Never seem to find
The high times -the low-lives
Never leave behind

You scheme and pipe dream
Get rich quick or you’ll die trying
You tried the whole time
Selling out but they weren’t buying
You suit up you shoot up
Well designed to keep you flying

The high life – the low-lives
Never seem to find
The high times -the low-lives
Never leave behind
No they never leave behind

Broke up and broke down
Your resolve is slowly slipping
You give out you give in
Down and out and ego-tripping
You sold out you hold out
And now you spread your wings for clipping

The high life – the low-lives
Never seem to find
The high times -the low-lives
Never leave behind
No they never leave behind
They never leave behind
