The Man Who Can't Get High

My grandpa was the best man I ever met

Wish you saw before his death

The graces he left

And all my life I try to do my best

But slippery are those steps

And I always make a mess

I keep falling into place

However high I go

There's only one way home

I keep falling into place however high I go

There's something to pull me under

There's something to drag me in

It digs its dirty teeth down

With its holy little grin

Maybe I won't ever touch the sky

I'm the man who can't get high

The other night I carried a man home

A man limping alone

It made me feel whole

But when I came home I said something so stupid

And you became the wounded

I'm no good I've concluded

I keep falling into place

However high I go

There's only one way home

I keep falling into place however high I go

There's something to pull me under

There's something to drag me in

It digs its dirty teeth down

With its holy little grin

Maybe I won't ever touch the sky

I'm the man who can't get high

(Ohhh)

The man who can't get high

(Ohhh)

The man who can't get high

(Ohhh)

Oh-ooo

(Ohhh)

I'm the man who can't get high
