“This song deals with my internal debate about whether to behave and be good – or to fuck it all up and go party. Originally we [The Bennies] recorded a longer version of this song – with a fairly spaced out dub style bridge. It’s always hard to know with recording dub – how much do you allow for sp...
[Intro]
Yeah, this Bennies worldwide
This is a musical transmission from Melbourne to outer space
Hey hey, aliens come and take me away from this place
[Verse 1]
Lion's in the cage screaming, "Come out and play"
Loving every word you say
Got me on my knees screaming, "Fucking please
What more is one more day?"
Pain is the game and its straight through the vein
It is like lightning so exciting
It will take you under like flame and thunder
Crash and burn like
[Chorus]
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind I break my head
And I do it all again
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind I break my head
And I do it all again
[Verse 2]
You will never ever win them all
So fuck up and lose but don't get too tall
Can't ever win, won't ever win
But that ain't really such a bad thing
'Cause I'm born to lose and that's the path I choose
Makes me happy I'm doing undoing the screws
Never let go of that basic urge to consume it all
And fuck the world
[Chorus]
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind break my head
And I do it all again
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind I break my head
And I do it all again
[Breakdown]
Psychedelic transmission received
Commencing abduction sequence:
Four - two - zero!
[Chorus]
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind break my head
And I do it all again
I get high like an angel
And I scream like the devil
I break my mind I break my head
And I do it all again
