He Gets High - The Tellers

The man walks down from the 99

He’s got holes in his pockets he’s got too much style

He’s going down, down to town

To meet some pals and to get a bit high

Coming back with the 79

So much things on his troubled mind

Veins full of whiskey

And brain full of wine

So he gets high, so he gets high

So he gets high tonight

He’s not everybody he thinks he’s the once

Sitting on the pavement out of time

He won’t listen to those swines

He’ll brack his bottle and fight

The man walks down from the 99

He’s got holes in his pockets he’s got too much style

He’s going down, down to town

To meet some pals and to get a bit high

So he gets high so he gets high

So he gets high tonight

He’s got dream in right eye

And hope in the left one

You have a lover for tonight

He’s got music 'till he dies
