Your Wall's Too High Lyrics


Your wall's too high, I can't see
Can't seem to reach you, can't set you free
If you can hear me, follow the sound
Help me tear your wall down to the groundEveryone gets hurt sometimes
Everybody plays the game
If you don't win the first time
Come back and try again
Rocks an' bricks can't help you
You can't hide behind your wall
Why don't you try to jump it little girl
I'll catch you if you fallSometimes early in the mornin'
Without warnin' you'll realize, that you ain't too wise
With your head bowed down you go downtown
Watch an old lady hit the ground
Lots of people standin' round
But nobody seems to know herYou're an hour late when you reach your floor
And everybody tells you
That your boss is sore

Watch that clock for seven more
Then go flyin' through the doorBack home again the day is gone
You're safe and sound but still alone
And when the night falls around your walls
Tell me don't you ever wish you go go outside
Follow the lights, go outsideYou'll be alright, just go outside
I'll tell you be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Come onEveryone gets hurt sometimes
Everybody plays the game
If you don't win the first time
Come back and try again
Rocks and bricks can't help you
You can't hide behind your wall
Why don't you try to jump it little girl
I'll catch you if you fallYour wall's too high, I can't see
Can't seem to reach you, can't set you free
If you can hear me, follow the sound
Help me tear your wall down to the groundNow follow the lights and step outside
You'll be alright
I'll tell you be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, come on
Alright, alright

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
