The Wombats - Ready for the High Lyrics

You can scream like a banshee and still nothing comes

You can buy a hot balloon and watch the sky grow dull

I've said it all before, I am ready for the high

'Cause nothing works worse than the weekend fix

I put the money in the slots and then they fell to bits

I've said it all before, I am ready for the high



I'm ready for the high life

A kiss without a fistfight

A bang without the dynamite

A place I wanna stay

I always think in extremes

I should be thinkin' moon beams

I should be pullin' you close to me

And not explainin' why

I am ready for the high



Maybe Generation X are the chosen ones

They've got everything they need beneath their aching thumbs

I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high

Because underneath the low, there's a lower part

A place I only like to go to when we come apart

I'll say it all again, I am ready for the high



I'm ready for the high life

A kiss without a fistfight

A bang without the dynamite

A place I wanna stay

I always think in extremes

I should be thinkin' moon beams

I should be pullin' you close to me

And not explainin' why

I am ready for the high

I am ready for the high



I'm ready for the high life

A kiss without a fistfight

A bang without the dynamite

A place I wanna stay

I always think in extremes

I should be thinkin' moon beams

I should be pullin' you close to me

And not explainin' why

I am ready for the high



(I am ready for the high)



I am ready for the high
