HIGH 03:55
Deep down where the sun don’t shine, making a deal for mine Living a life without luxury, when’s the payback time? I tried to lift you up it brought me to my knees My best is all that I can give. It’s all I care about Makes no different what you think about me Makes no difference what you think about me Magic you see is blowing in the breeze I tried to lift it up I tried I tried Got to take the more stony path, sugar mixed with sour Must admit to some lonely days, hour after hour I tried to lift you up you brought me to my knees I tried to lift you up. I tied, I tried Now and then I get high, now and then I get high Now and then I get high, now and then I get high Makes no different what you think about me Makes no difference what you think about me Magic you see is blowing in the breeze I tried to lift it up I tried I tried Now and then I get high, now and then I get high Now and then I get high, now and then I get high

ESCAPE HATCH 04:26
Open the Escape Hatch, we are near break out Always crashing around in the dark Then I had a break down It was illuminating Think i’ll stop Think i’ll start Think i’ll stop Think i’ll start Time moves on, time moves on Move on time, some got left behind Open the escape hatch. I am near breaking Silently waiting here in the dark Think I had a breakdown It was illuminating In Blackpool, in Blackpool scared to sleep scared to wake. Demons in everyones eyes. bore a hole in my head bore a hole SOME GOT LEFT BEHIND One big floating head We was one we was one We was one Think i’ll stop Think i’ll start Time moves on, time moves on Move on time, I am left behind (repeat)

JUST A GIRL 05:31
It’s five AM in a cocktail bar. By your face we didn’t get very far I’m going home, I’m too tired and stoned Red eyes, red witch, you drunk enough, you stupid bitch Just a girl who can’t say no, Just a girl who can’t say no Holding on to a falling star, I left a trail in the park That was where my mind was caved in. In the middle of singing something Red eyed, red witch, you drunk enough, now you been hit Just a girl who can’t say no. Just a girl who can’t say no Blue light flashed like a ball of flames, I can’t tell them my first name I could the line going in, my hand was stinging Everything was shaking starting to fall Hit me like train hit me for hours I travelled through a wire to a blinding light Do you think you can count to 5 for honey Do you think you can open your eyes for me I could see everything, I could see everything I could see myself broken twisted on the floor So if this is how it is, why should I want more Then I saw white angels, it was white angels, it was white angels Red eyes, red witch, you drunk too much, no way back from this Just a girl who can’t say no, Just a girl who can’t say no I’m going home
