it used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast and i had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last but when you re born to run it s so hard to just slow down so don t be surprised to see me in the brighter part of town and i ll be back in the high life again all the doors i closed one time will open up again i ll be back in the high life again all the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in and i ll drink and dance with one hand free let the world back into me oh i ll be a sight to see back in the high life again you used to be the best to make life be real to me and i hope that you re still out there and you re like you used to be we ll have ourselves a time and we ll dance til the morning sun we ll let the good times come in we won t stop until we re done and we re back in the high life again all the doors i closed one time will open up again we ll be back in the high life again all the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in and we ll drink and dance with one hand free have the world so easily oh we ll be a sight to see back in the high life we ll be back in the high life again all the doors i closed one time will open up again we ll be back in the high life again all the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in  back in the high life
