I had too much to drink last night now I'm lying on the floor 
Watching the coloured patterns in my eyes, leftovers from the light 
And this bearing all thing is harder than I thought 
I'm gonna pull out my own tail feathers and see if they applaud 

See I always had this problem while you were still around 
We both threw our cards on the table but yours were all face down 
You know the thing about failure is it happens when you're out of time 
You don't know that you've lost the race until you cross the finish line 

And that's
How high 
I'll refrain this time 
You know the rain's come down again 
You'll pardon me if I don't seem surprised 

Now the grey suits and the big boys they're all slaves to their bank balance see 
The media mass markets freedom as the ultimate commodity 
And you tattoo my image on the lips of all your friends 
As some tight cunt to fuck and leave and fuck again 

Like I say
How high 
I'll refrain this time 
You know the rain's come down again 
You'll pardon me if I don't seem surprised 

And I had too much to drink last night now I'm lying on the floor 
Watching the coloured patterns in my eyes, leftovers from the light 
And this bearing all thing is harder than I thought 
I'm gonna pull out my own tail feathers and see if they applaud 
See if they applaud
