I'm on a high, I'm on a high There's nothing more to it. We are the sea and the sky And the blue that runs through it, yeah. And there are some who say there are so many things I need So I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed I bleed, I bleed Well, it's a lie it's a lie, don't you believe it. If you're fine then you're fine, it's all how you see it. Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. I'm on a high I'm on a high And there's nothing more to it I have the sun, it's a star Why should I refuse it And there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down There's not enough money or time and my love you're not around Around, around But it's a lie it's a lie, don't you believe it. If you're fine then you're fine, it's all how you see it. Oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness. You're alive you're alive, how else could you hear me? You are fine, you are fine, there's nothing worth fearing Cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness I'm on a high, on a high We are the sea and the sky I'm on a high, on a high I'm on a high It's a lie, It's a lie don't you believe it Cause I've tried and I've tried, and I can't really see it Yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness Said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it And I lied and I lied And I wish you hadn't seen it Cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness I'm on a high, on a high, there's nothing more to it, yeah.
