lyrics
Higher (By H.McMillan)
I'm watching the sunset over a skyline of trees
The whole land seems on fire
I'm setting light to my memories
And throwing bodies on the pyre as the flames get...
Higher.
Are you the fireman come to help me
Have you come to put the flames out
Or just to light your cigarette?
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
Swimming gently on the rooftop
While the land is all at sea
The flotsam and Jetsam of my life is floating past - Oh Lonesome me.
And the tide gets...
Higher. Yeah.
Are you the pilot come to raise me
I hear no helicopter rescue
Just blood pumping in my ears
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
Blue skies and clouds floating over
This hole in the ground, where I lie
And I'm looking up to god's servant
Who's throwing dirt into my eyes
Are you sure this is the way to Jesus
Or are you just dumping me in the ground?
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
I'm watching the sunset over a skyline of trees
The whole land seems on fire
I'm setting light to my memories
And throwing bodies on the pyre as the flames get...
Higher.
Are you the fireman come to help me
Have you come to put the flames out
Or just to light your cigarette?
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
Swimming gently on the rooftop
While the land is all at sea
The flotsam and Jetsam of my life is floating past - Oh Lonesome me.
And the tide gets...
Higher. Yeah.
Are you the pilot come to raise me
I hear no helicopter rescue
Just blood pumping in my ears
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
Blue skies and clouds floating over
This hole in the ground, where I lie
And I'm looking up to god's servant
Who's throwing dirt into my eyes
Are you sure this is the way to Jesus
Or are you just dumping me in the ground?
Take me...Higher. Yeah.
