Drunken tears
fall cold like winter rain
they chill her to the bone
Drunken fears
Have left her here alone
and closing time
always comes too soon
when there's nowhere left to go
closing time and it's one more for the road
Trying to live the high life
but feeling so low
it's all that she's ever known
trying to live the high life
how high can you go
before you end up alone?
Another night
of greens and blues
have left him wanting more
another night just like the night before.
One more time
it's still the same
he ends up on the run
one more time it's all been said and done.
Trying to live the high life
but feeling so low
it's all that he's ever known
trying to live the high life
how high can you go
before you end up alone
Trying to find a remedy
the cure becomes the enemy
nothing seems to take away the pain
somewhere in the melody
all the scars and memories remain.
Trying to live the high life
but feeling so low
it's all that they've ever known
trying to live the high life
how high can you go
before you end up alone
Trying to live the high life
but feeling so low
it's all that they've ever known
trying to live the high life
how high can you go
before you end up alone
before you end up alone
before you end up alone.
