Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May 31, 2010]

Silver needles
Golden eagles
Frightened faces
Basket cases
Jags and riches
Queens and witches
Electric mantras
And tight-fitting dreams

Never been so high

Gilded flowers
Long-lost hours
Morning programs
With fake suntans
Meet a maniac in the cul-de-sac
Otherwise it's this ennui

All this waiting brings me down
All those colours bring me around

Never been so high ([L] Never been so high) ([R] Chromium platin')
Never been so high ([L] Never been so low) ([R] All this waiting brings me down)
Never been so high ([L] Never been so high) ([R] Suffocatin')
([L] Never been so low) ([R] All those colours bring me around)

Broken records
Faded labels
Songs to sing to
When you were young
A tattooed pierced arm
Fresh and perfumed
Switch your prison
Fly away

All this waiting brings me down
All those colours bring me around

Broken records

Never been so high (Never been so high) (gilded flowers, long-lost hours)
Never been so high (Never been so low) (morning programs with fake suntans)
Never been so high (Never been so high) (meet a maniac in the cul-de-sac)
(Never been so low) (otherwise it's this ennui)

And jewels on your fingers
Tears in your dresses
Fabulous mansions
And damp little rooms
This one will shrink me
This one will grow me
Cue into sleep
And reality looms

[Closes with repeated line too distorted to make out - could be "this ennui"]
