And we're drinkin' Pabst with one hand free
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
Back in the heart light again.
Back in the high life again
Back in the heart of the nation
Back in the high life again
Back in the highlight again
Back in the high life again
Back in the jai alai again.
Back in the high life again.
Don't be surprised to see me back in the bright part of town.
Don't be surprised to see me back in the black part of town.
Don't want to be a Sadducee
And oh we'll be a sight to see
The Sadducees were an extreme Jewish sect that existed during the time of Christ.
Don't want to be a sight to see
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Hold me closer, close to mine, we'll hope for the same thing
All the doors that closed one time will open up again
I know we'll be a sight to see
And oh we'll be a sight to see
I'm back in the heinie again.
I'll be back in the high life again.
I'm back in the high life of fans.
I'll be back in the high life again.
Pullin' up the dead
Open up again
And we'll Aesop 'til we're done
And we won't stop till we're done
And while she can dance with one hand free
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
Back in the Bahamas again.
Back in the high life again.
Back in the heart of the game
Back in the high life again
I'll be back in the high-end again
I'll be back in the high life again
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright Bordentown
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town
