High Times

I was having a high time

Living my life on a dime

And it's such a fine line

To stay in the right state of mind

Baby I know

I know it's time to go

I was jumping at shadows

Strung up like arrow and bow

I begged and haggled

Never got what I bargained for

So baby let's go

There's commotion down below

Things they took a toll

Sleeping rough, living hand to mouth

The dice went on a roll

A sleight of hand might work these things out

What you gonna do?

Hand me down down, beat around the bush

What you gonna do?

The wolf's in town, did you catch the news

Now I have to choose

I made my mind up

And got myself out of bed

No thanks to blind luck

To change the life I've led

Baby say no

I'm tired of laying low

Things they turned around

On the ball, got to go again

Going with the grain

Spring to life, how long has it been?

What you gonna do?

Hang around, beat around the bush

What you gonna do?

See the town, search for something new

Now it's win or lose
