To tell a lie, to play with fire, oh, it's natural Down inside, don't know why, it's irrational You caught my eye, a passer-by, I couldn't let you go And all the while, it's out of sight, but we'll keep it known And I wish we could run a-way from here now, just go away 'Cause all I see is fighting, oh, and lying, and I just can't stay And I'll take you to a higher place We won't come down for the rest of our days I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days We try and try to do what's right, it's paradoxical We justify every lie, it's always fashionable Fire a line, it's just outside, it's all imaginable And only eyes look inside, so hypocritical And I'll take you to a higher place We won't come down for the rest of our days I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days Yeah, I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days And I'll take you to a higher place Won't come down for the rest of our days Won't come down for the rest of our days
