I know you are overly critical
But that's alright
I won't get cynical
Cause I know you are as hard
Hard on yourself
So I'll take the high road
Don't mistake my niceties for weakness
Duplicitous minds play while we're writing our treaties
With vicious guns and cyborg hands
We feed on ourselves
So I'll take the high road
So I'll take the high road
Where no one can escape
So I'll take the high road
Where no one can escape
When I see you really get to the meat of it
Your eyes illuminate without any need for doubt
You've got the goods
I'd buy your wares
You know that you could
Go and take the high road
So I'll take the high road
Where no one can escape
So I'll take the high road
Where no one can escape
(La-da-da)
When bad faith leads you on that way
(Uh-huh)
I won't let you go astray
(Uh-huh)
No I won't fall
La-da-da-da
La-da-da
I know time is getting away from us
That's alright
I'm joining the circus
I'll do some tricks
Make you laugh
Get on with the show
Go and take the high road
So I'll take that high road
Where no one can escape
So I'll take the high road
It's better off that way
