Lyrics
AND NOW YOU’RE HIGH
lyrics by Rachel Faro
Dedicated to Mark Kamins
You lifted up your arms, high above the crowd
Caught the rhythm of the dancers and made the music loud
And brought us to that bit of bliss that clears out all the clouds
No past, no future, just pure energy and sound
And now you’re high so high,
Soaring like the eagle in the sky,
Just sound and lights and now you’re feeling so alive
And yes, you’re high, so high
You made a lot of money and you used it like a drug
You devoured life like candy and you always gave it up
A heart as big as space you were loved the way you loved
For all you got, for all you gave, it never was enough
And now you’re high, so high,
Soaring like a rocket in the sky
Riding on pure energy, feeling so live
And yes, you’re high, you’ve never been so high
Bridge:
You left us with no warning while you were down in Mexico
We know that you were not the first, and nor the last to go
But it was your time, it was your last breath, it was your last song
You lifted off the ground and you were gone
Last night there was a meteor that streaked across the sky
You caught a ride and rode that rock right up into the light
You reeled you rocked you freaked you buzzed and flew into the sun
A slash of white a flash of light and you were gone
And now you’re high, so high
Just one of a million stars that twinkle in the night
Yes, you’re high, so high
You made it to the moment, we always knew that you would fly.
