When I'm High

When I'm riding

Well, I can tell from the road ahead that the road is long

And when I'm flying

Well, I can tell from the way it feels that it can't be wrong

Woah, you can't tell me 'bout the way it was

You can't show me what a real man does

But I can see what you do with my eye

When I'm high

Well, I can see myself and not know where I am

And when I'm dying

Well, I can lose my breathe and still have full command

Woah, you can't see me like the way I can

You're talking to me but you never listen, man

And I won't to listen to the way you were

Or why you had to do it like you did to her

I'm hanging by a thread from the fabric of the open sky

When I'm high

When I'm lying

Well, I don't claim to speak your truth or keep your peace

And that confirms I never knew your disbelief

And now you see me where I stand with your bride
