The Wombats - Ready for the High Lyrics

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

I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I wanna stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinkin' moon beams
I should be pullin' you close to me
And not explainin' 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

I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I wanna stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinkin' moon beams
I should be pullin' you close to me
And not explainin' why
I am ready for the high
I am ready for the high

I'm ready for the high life
A kiss without a fistfight
A bang without the dynamite
A place I wanna stay
I always think in extremes
I should be thinkin' moon beams
I should be pullin' you close to me
And not explainin' why
I am ready for the high

(I am ready for the high)

I am ready for the high
