Everybody Getting High
Jagger Mick Lyrics

Everybody getting high
The people all around are getting high on something.

High high high high high high
It's happening frequently and intensely.

Here comes the writer
The writer has arrived on the scene.

He's got the script right in his hand
And he's carrying a script with him.

Talkin to the actress
He's having a conversation with an actress.

While she's checking out the band
While she's watching the performance of the band.

Her name is pretty
The actress' name is lovely.

But not the boils on her face
Though she has boils on her face, making her less attractive.

I feel like running
I want to flee from this situation.

But there's no hiding place
Nowhere to run away from the situation.

My dress designers
The people who make and design my dresses.

They want to doll me up in blue
They want to dress me up in blue.

Pretty next fall's collection
They have a pretty collection for next autumn season.

They want to show it in the zoo
They want to showcase this collection in a place like a zoo.

Fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
Referring to the act of getting high -- flying.

What are you doing here
Why are you here.

To all these dogs you're just a bone
You're just an object of desire to everyone here.

Before you throw up honey
Before you vomit, my dear.

Just grab your coat
Just get your coat.

And kiss your goodbyes
Say your goodbyes and leave.

I'm gonna take you take you home
I'll take you home safely.

I'm checking out the kung fu actor
I'm observing the kung fu actor.

Boy is he way up his ass
He's full of himself.

He won't even talk to me
He refuses to speak with me.

But he wants to show me
But he wants to demonstrate something to me.

How to dance
How to dance like he does.

And I sit and wonder why
I'm wondering why this is happening.

Why why why why why why
Repeating the questioning of why.

'cause everybody wants to
Because everyone desires to.

Fly fly fly fly fly fly fly
To get high and soar.
