I'm so high and so dry, I'm sailin' in the sky, Just smoke some gage, Come around babe, Jack, I'm mellow. I'm so high and so dry, I'm way up in the sky, The world seems light And I'm so right, Jack, I'm mellow. I'm going to put my nickel in a slot machine And play my solid sender, I'm going to strut, peck and Suzie-Q, Have alone a bender, I'm so high and so dry, I'm sailin' in the sky, I got my roach around And I can't come down, Jack, I'm mellow.

My fur got stole but, lord ain't it cold But I'm not gonna holler 'cause I still got a dollar And when I get low Oooo I get high My man walked out Now you know that ain’t right but He better watch out If I see him tonight and when I get low Oooo I get high All the bad luck in this town surrounds me (maybe you have this bit right) Nobody knows how troubles all crowd around me I’m all alone With no-one to pet me But that old rocking chair Ain’t never gonna get me ‘cause when I get low Oooo I get high All the bad luck in this town surrounds me Nobody knows how troubles all crowd around me I’m all alone With no-one to pet me with the old rocking chair Ain’t gonna get me ‘cause when I get low Oooo I get high

Dreamed about a reefer five feet long. Mighty Mezz, but not too strong. You'll be high but not for long If you're a viper. I'm the queen of everything. I've got to be high so I can swing. Light a tea and let it be If you're a viper. When your throat get dry you know you're high Everything is dandy Truck on down to the candy store Bust your konk on peppermint candy Then you know that you're body's spent. You don't care if you don't pay rent. Sky is high and so am I If you're a viper.

Friday left me fumblin' with the blues And it's hard to win when you always lose Because the nightspots spend your spirit Beat your head against the wall Two dead ends and you've still got to choose You know the bartenders, they all know my name And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head When I should be living clean instead You know, the ladies I've been seeing off and on Well they spend your love and then they're gone You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel Take your love and then they leave on out of town, no they do Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze But it's standin' up that's so hard for me I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back You know your perfume, well it won't let me be You know the bartenders, all know my name And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head When I should be living clean instead Come on baby, let your love light shine Gotta bury me inside of your fire Because your eyes are 'enough to blind me You're like looking at the sun You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

After you've gone and left me crying After you've gone, there's no denying You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Some day when you'll grow lonely Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away After Im gone, after we break up After Im gone, youre gonna wake up You will find you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind After the years weve been together Thought joy and tears, all kinds of weather Someday blue and downhearted Youll long to be with me right back where you started After Im gone, after Im gone away You will find you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind Someday blue and downhearted Youll long to be with me right back where you started After Im gone, after Im gone away Youll feel blue and youll feel sad Youll miss the dearest pal you've ever had Someday when you'll grown lonely Your heart will break like mine and youll want me only After youve gone, after youve gone away
