Lowlife in a highrise looks something like me
Blackmailed by a white girl, enslaved in a free world
Iâve been watching the rain
Iâve been learning to fall like a natural
Iâve been up for a week
Iâve been walkin the streets
Itâs a ritual
The clouds are in my eyes
Lowlife in a highrise on the downtown music scene
Watchinâ all the girls go by
Feel as lonely as a lie
Iâve been plannin my moves
Iâve been using my muse
Itâs a cover up
For the one that I want
Or the one that Iâm with
Send my lover up
The clouds are in my eyes
Soothe me baby, soothe me now
Soothe me baby, I need it somehow
Lowlife in a highrise and she loved me the whole time
If she knew all my sins
Would she still let me in
Iâve been screenin my calls
Iâve been building my walls
Itâs the usual
I have waited so long
For a place at the top
But now I gotta go
With the angels of light
And the ones that conduct
On my stereo
Iâve been watching the rain
Iâve been learning to fall
Like a natural
The clouds are in my eyes
Soothe me baby, soothe me now
Soothe me baby, I need it somehow
