"Ready For The High" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

You can scream like a banshee and still nothing comes
You can buy a heart 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

[Chorus:]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining 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

[Chorus:]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
I am ready for the high

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I want to stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinking moon beams
I should be pulling you close to me
And not explaining why
I am ready for the high
(I am ready for the high)

[Outro:]
I am ready for the high
