Matt Minglewood - How High Is High Enough lyrics

He was a boy from a steel town He soon had a look in his eye Not the look of a child but the wild look of fury Like an animal caught in the wire School was the streets of town His lesson he learned with his fists Not a mean man he just felt all-alone Like a wolf on a hill in a mist Fast cars, new friends and machismo Drove him away from his past Running from the law, running from himself An outlaw who lived life to fast Chorus How high is high enough How low can a body go How deep before you know When you're having too much fun Don't you know when you're on the run And you're living under the gun How high is high enough When does a man know he is alone Who does he see in the mirror Where did he go wrong and could we have helped Why does it feel he's here Maybe some day we will learn from the past From those who have gone on before That way his life will not have been a waste And the good won't die young anymore Chorus
