Lyrics

High Life
Words and music by The Woodmen

Verse one
Hey? fresh!
I?m feelin? like a million dollars
I?m thinkin? I could change the world
before the world changes me
So stop! (just stop it, babe)
makin? like you?re so hard done by
Can?t you see a million people
would kill for a chance to be ?

Bridge
Rockin? and a-rollin? ? ahheay!
Don?t? stop me now
Rockin? and a rollin? ? come on
Let me show you how ?

Verse two
Work!
It?s the curse of the drinkin? class
And if it ain?t the bottle that get?s you, man
you better take a look in the glass.
It?s rock! (come rock me, babe)
Elixir for a generation
and baby when the ski?s the limit
the air just ain?t the same ?

Bridge
Rockin? and a-rollin? ? ahheay!
Don?t? stop me now
Rockin? and a rollin? ? come on
Let me show you how ?

Chorus
Living the high life
Can?t go wrong
Living the high life
And singin? this song

Organ/guitar solos

bridge
Rockin? and a rollin? ?ahheay!
Don?t? stop me now
Rockin? and a rollin? ? come on
Let me show you how ?

Verse three
Life!
The concept reeks speculation
A series full of twists and turns
that only fate will seal
Lord , you gotta push (push, push me, babe)
decisively with flash and feeling
And when you see your name in lights
you?ll know it?s all too real ?

Bridge
Rockin? and a-rollin?-ahheay!
Don?t? stop me now (no!)
Rockin? and a rollin? ? come on!
Let me show you how ?

Chorus
Living the high life
Can?t go wrong
When you?re living the high life
And singin? this song
Living the high life
Can?t go wrong
Living the high life
and singin? this song
Living the high life
c?mon and live the high life
Yes we?re living the high life
and we?re lovin? it all
