Selected Lyrics

The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Selected Lyric

Where’s the High?

Track #11 - The Opiates // By: Thomas Feiner & Anywhen

There is a house with a fountain
Things that kept me satisfied
I lost my life as a young man
And I’ve been running ever since

Here’s to burning bridges
Here’s to the leap in the dark
I’m still running, still waiting
For this life to fall apart

Where’s the high?
Where’s the high?

I forgot what had me going
And where to go

Where’s the high?
Where’s the high?

Only cages, where the spaces used to be

Where’s the high?
Where’s the high?

I forgot what had me going
And where to go

Where’s the high?
Where’s the high?

Only cages, where the spaces used to be

Where’s the high?
Where’s the high?
