Standing on the edge of someone’s shadow

I put my hands above my head

But I got several mannequins in my bed

So what do I do? (take the high road)

I threw my mind out in the garbage yesterday
C              Am                F                  G
Whether I’m on drugs or not, I’m brain dead, either way

So what do I do? (take the high road)
              F              G

Can’t stand the high road, baby
