Can't keep it on the ground
The lyrics to "Ha Ha High Babe" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are a bit cryptic and could be interpreted in different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the song describes the experience of being on drugs and feeling disconnected from reality. The repetition of "ha ha high" can be seen as a reference to a state of euphoria or delirium induced by drugs. The line "can't keep it on the ground" could suggest a feeling of floating or being detached from the physical world.
The song's chorus, which goes "all you want is someone to hold you, all you need is something to hide behind," could be interpreted as a commentary on the fleeting nature of relationships and the desire for comfort or escape. The line "you're never gonna find it if you're looking for it" could suggest that happiness or fulfillment cannot be found through external means such as drugs or relationships, but rather needs to come from within.

You're ha ha high, babe
You're excessively euphoric or delirious, my dear
Can't keep it on the ground
You can't contain your elation and it's noticeable in your demeanor and actions
