Got to get low

You wanted so bad, everything that you saw
A desire so strong, took hold of your soul
You couldn't hold back, your hunger inside
Was eating you up, just a piece at a time
Say how do you feel, what's on you mind?
Say who are you now, what's eating you?
Say who are you know, a stranger inside
Controlling you, controlling you

Got to get low, before you get high
Got to get low, then you can kiss the sky
Got to get low, before you get high
Got to get low, then you can rise again
Learn from the past, you have been burned
But that ain't so bad, after all...

You searched for a way, but it just wasn't there
With champagne and pearls, and a saviour in gold
You hitched for a ride, into the fast lane
And where did you go, tell me what did you lease
Now why don't you rise, it's time to get up
You're still alive, you're still alive
On your way back home, back into this world
Back into life, back into life

Got to get low
Got to get low, before you get high
Got to get low, then you can kiss the sky
Got to get low, before you get high
Got to get low, then you can rise again
Learn from the past, you have been burned
But that ain't so bad, after all...
