Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high
Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high

Here comes the writer
He's got the script right in his hand
Talking to the actress
While she's checking out the band - yeah

Her name is pretty
But not the boils on her face, mm-mm
I feel like running
But there's no hiding place

Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high
Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high

My dress designers
They want to doll me up in blue - mm-mm, pretty
Next fall collection
They're going to show it in a zoo, yes

Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high
Everybody want to fly, fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly - ah yeah
Ah yeah

Ha!

What are you doing here?
To all these dogs you're just a bone, yes
Before you throw up honey, just grab your coat and
Kiss your goodbyes, I'm going to take you, take you home

Yeah

I'm checking out the kung fu actor
Boy is he way up his ass - ah huh
He won't even talk to me
But he wants to show me how to dance

Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high
And I sit and wonder why, why, why, why
Why, why, why - ah yeah

'Cause everybody want to fly, fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly - ah yeah
Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high

We're going to kiss this one goodbye

 Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high
Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high

Everybody getting, everybody getting, everybody getting
High, high, high

(High, high, high, high)
(High, high, high)
(High, high, high, high)
(High, high, high)

 Everybody getting high, high, high, high
High, high, high

It's almost a comedy song, made out of observations.
