We get high    Before we get low    And I was walking down in a frosty street    I was looking back for home       We get high    Before we get low    And I was drenched in heat in the city tonight    You pull me back and go    We get high       Well it beats being a rent man    Or when you're down in the roulette mine    And as the city casts its shadow    We commit the perfect crime       We get high    Before we get low    And I was drenched in heat in the city tonight    You pull me back and go       When you're stuck inside your bubble    And people, they're saying it's great    But like so much before us    You'll never escape the fate       We get high    Before we get low    And I was walking down in a frosty street    I was looking back for home    We get high       And I've seen you all down on them drinking signs    With all your money, your money, your money, your money, your money    We get high    The only crime I can never commit on them a street    We got low    Is trying to make all the ends meet    We get high    Now hear this!    Hey fellas!    We got low
