"High To Death" lyrics

"High To Death"

I fell over
I fell onto the ground
I wish I was sober
I can't get up off the ground-round-round-round-round-round-round-round-round

When I closed my eyes
And I thought I was blind
It's the middle of the night
And I'll never be alright again
And this wallpaper
Keeps going 'round the room
Keeps going 'round the room
And I follow it around the room
And I follow it around the room
And I follow it around the room

Keep smoking, I love you
Keep smoking, I love you
Keep smoking, I still love you
But I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

(You and Jane can't keep me in the paper anymore)

And I sat there on the steps
Considering death
There were only seconds left of the night
And I said, "Hell is the sun
Burning forever at the center of things
A ball on fire at the center of things"
A ball on fire at the center of things
A brain on fire at the center of things
A brain on fire at the center of things

And the sea isn't green
And I love this dream
But how exactly can we
Escape from behind the wall?
