Standing on the edge of someone’s shadow
B G#m E F#
I put my hands above my head

So what do I do? (take the high road)
E F#
Teenage alien blues (take the high road)
Oh, no, no

Can’t stand the truth

I threw my mind out in the garbage yesterday
B G#m E F#
Whether I’m on drugs or not, I’m brain dead, either way
E F#
So what do I do? (take the high road)
E F#
See you making out (take the high road)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
E F# G#m
Can’t stand the high road, baby
E F# G#m
If you want some of my love, darlin’

You can walk to my house, babe

I will stand up for my rights
A# G# A# E
From Jesus Jones and all his parasites
A# G# A# E
They’re doing testings on mice
A# G# A# E
In a psychedelic chromosome device
A# G# A# E
I will stand up in my mind
A# G# C# D#
And tear your heart right down

The current state of our minds

In six or seven years won’t matter
A# G# A# E
I will stand up in my mind
A# G# C# D#
And tear your heart right down
A# G# A# E
A# G# C# D#
And recognize the future is now

Oh, but it gets so hard
B A#m G#m
With both feet on the ground

I could make you my own
B A#m G#m
But now you’re down
F#
And make you my own
B A#m C#
But now you’re down

Now I’ve got a sweetie
B
Who knows just how to treat me
F# B
But everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout haircuts
F# B
No, no, everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout Jesus Jones
