On the 2017 live album ‘Live at Third Man Records’, Dylan Carlson says this song is about ‘needles and the History Channel’ – so the experience of taking drugs intravenously while watching said channel, it would seem documentaries about World War 2. The explains the title, where ‘high command’ means...
Bones are feeling sleazy
Head spinning around
Spend the night with Josef Goebbels
Think I'm coming down
Life isn't easy
Thru having fun
Spent the night with Heimlich Himmler
Think I'm on the run
Always done the best
Of everything around
Flew the plane for Rudolph Hess
I've landed upside down
Always have to have
Something in my head
Shot cocaine with Hermann Göring
Now I wish I was dead
