Brazzaville - High Life lyrics
[Brazzaville - High Life lyrics]
High life sing me a sweet song
You used to think I was grand
Downtown chelsea and Soho
I held the world in my hand
I flew the Concorde to Paris
Sniffed lines of cocaine for free
Champagne and mangoes for breakfast
Warm nights and dawns by the sea
OD’ed in the afternoon
With her diamonds and pearls
And a burnt spoon
Now I’m a little bit older
And I’m in need of a friend
I’ve got some pills and some liquor
And soon i’ll see you again
OD’ed… etc honey
What you gonna do when your beauty and youth
Are behind you?
You used to think I was grand
Downtown chelsea and Soho
I held the world in my hand
I flew the Concorde to Paris
Sniffed lines of cocaine for free
Champagne and mangoes for breakfast
Warm nights and dawns by the sea
OD’ed in the afternoon
With her diamonds and pearls
And a burnt spoon
Now I’m a little bit older
And I’m in need of a friend
I’ve got some pills and some liquor
And soon i’ll see you again
OD’ed… etc honey
What you gonna do when your beauty and youth
Are behind you?
