HIGH POINTS

when the rich man 
makes his fortune
pops the best champagne
when the sick man 
cures his illness
conquerer of pain
these are the high points 
of our lives

for the warrior its the danger
edge of life and death
schoolboy immitate TV ranger
watch him hold his breath
these are the high points 
of our lives

fashion model fame and beauty
flash in the peter pan
theres no body can sustain it
cash in perfect hands
these are the high points 
of our lives

for the seeker its the melting
in samadhi's flame
for the baby its the mother
callin out their name
these are the high points 
of our lives

find her in the sunset
find her in the rain
find her in the lake's reflection
lookin for yrself again
these are the high points 
of our lives

but when the show is over
and everybody's gone
the sole remaining waiter
slyly dons his early morning madness
and begins to scree-am!
