We dance till you draw the shades
Keep the morning at bay
And extend the night, kill off the sunrise
Shake down cement blocks
Up above the bloom shops
And stake out the biggest flower market in town

High living high
Low living low
High living high
Wish all the others could know
Next time you follow me home

You’re the best dressed since the second king
Finest shoes for the outpost creeping
Oh, you know that I first saw you in June
At a party for ice cream, me eating, you watching
The hired guns, they stalking
And staring down the uprising moon

High living high
Low living low
High living high
Wish all the others could know

High living high
Low living low
High living high
Wish all the others could know
And I think that sometimes
We could take on the daylight for good
Make a break with a new disguise
And suffer through till breaking night
And dance till the others get wise
Get wise, get wise, get wise
