"High" lyrics - WIRE

WIRE
"High"
(Graham Lewis / Colin Newman / Wire)

High on snowploughs
Escape brief loveless
Our maple leaf
Ancestral shame

[Chorus:]
The where and when to, you aspire
A Wren born guide, to London's spires

Denounce the church
Of herding cats
Build pyramids
Of acrobats

[Chorus:]
The who and what to, you desire
An arsonistic, love of fire

[Outro:]
The how and if
For budding liars
The Trappist guide
To happy hours
