High Love

drorkessler

I had a basic melody and fragments of the words swirling around my head in the last few days … so I sat down and made a song out if … it took several rounds of playing to figure out how to present this, being part 5/4 and part 4/4 … I finally arrived at a drop-d capo on 7’th configuration … which gave it a bit of a mandolin feel … hope you like it … I’ll go and feed the lizards now …

lyrics:

I got me a pair of lizards
They’re climbing up my wall
And every time I drift some
They’re starting to unfold …

Sometimes I feel so old
Like I’ve been tried and true
I’m sick and tired of kissing
I wanna run away from you

And then you stare me in the eye
Saying this is our goodbye
Then we undress and drink the wine
Your belly lusts but you ain’t mine

And then you kick me out of bed
I go and live right on the street
And spend my time collecting
New people that I meet

And then you join me for the night
We watch the couples kissing
I feel your breasts and then you smile
Is this high love or are we tripping?

And then you kiss me on the cheek
I smile and say that I love you
And then we rush back to the streets
The crowd’s our high love palace true
