High Life


working nine to five

feeling more dead than alive

hey come on, feel the beat of lifetime-jive

 

everyday itīs the same

thatīs how life goes itīs way

and one day Iīll pay

 

I need money to live

work is the thing that I give

work all day until my body is stiff

 

everything will be fine

I reach the end of the line

weekend will come – itīs high life

 

High Life (3 times)

 

Head is aching – what a night

party was endless to daylight

all were happy the future was bright so bright

 

I could not defend

the devil in my head

call to drink alcohol

 

slowly life comes back

I feel the devils attack

thereīs so much remembrance I still lack

 

through the year there are

so much nights I canīt

remember all – thatīs high life

Monday I feel dead

devilīs still in my head

sleep I need but must go to work

 

think stay home this day

sleep a while – so I lay

in my bed on Monday

 

telephoneīs ring

boss is there crying

telling him I am ill – must stay home

 

boss gets angry

Iīm still weary

You are fired – he says
