Back again I'm holed up In the waiting room again Focused on the empty Getting underneath my skin How do I keep it? How do I keep it here? Look at how the time flies Burning daylight to the ground Wash away the ashes Gonna quiet my head down How do I keep it? How do I keep it here? 'Cause I wanna get high But you're keeping me low I don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think I wanna get high But you're taking me down, down, down Don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think Illuminate the shadow And try to keep the light within (keep the light within) Avoid another battle And forget what might have been How do I keep it? How do I keep it here? 'Cause I wanna get high But you're keeping me low I don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think I wanna get high (I wanna get high) But you're taking me down, down, down Don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh I've had too much to think As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA See the faces of the people as they run away It's a permanent made distraction, the modern reaction The people don't have to feel the dissatisfaction It's a slow journey up but a quick ride on down And nobody here knowing their way around From the top of the world every which way is down And who's gonna take the crown? 'Cause I wanna get high (I wanna get high) But you're keeping me low (but you're keeping me low) I don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think I wanna get high (I wanna get high) But you're taking me down, down, down Don't got time to waste or time to kill I've had too much to think Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh I've had too much to think
