Lyrics of
High Rise

Came at me like a wrecking ball
Like a high-rise summons concrete
Can't remember what there was before
You caught me dizzy up the backstreet
All the flowers wait for rain
The quarry's full of snakes
Now the singers all sound the same
Sinners picking baby names

Silver belly holding marigolds
In the summer of the listless
Say you love me like a stereo
Turning all your precious records
Can you meet me unafraid
Eating fire and coming clean?
Take me just like a train
Wild as the wind is strange

There's no owning
Loaning the moans to me
No atoning
What it takes now to be free


Holy rollers and hyssop leaves
While the punks pry out serpents
Devil's nettle and centaury
Whatever you can get your hands on
Will you meet me unafraid
Eating fire and coming clean?
Take me just like a train
Wild as the wind is strange

There's no owning
Loaning the moans to me
No atoning
It's what it takes now to be free
There's no owning
Loaning the moans to me
No atoning
It's what it takes now to be free
