Lyrics The High Price of Inspiration - Guy Clark

The mirror's stained with dirty looks
At least it never lies
The muse is calling down the hall
Come on, let's get high

The high price of inspiration
Always leaves me broken
But I keep coming back for more
Still I take no caution

Inspiration with some wings
Is what I'm looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I'd like that even more

I'll fly me to a better place
Plan this safe and sound
Don't you worry, I'll be back
If I ever become tense

Pretty sure I'll make it
If I get through today
Or I'll see tomorrow
There is always hell to pay

Inspiration with some wings
Is what I'm looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I'd like that even more

Inspiration with some wings
Is what I'm looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I'd like that even more

I'd like that even more
I'd like that even more
