The Tellers - He gets high lyrics

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
