Heaven High - Philip Lawrence

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.
