Lyrics of the original song by Cage the Elephant:

I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said I never seen a man, who looks so all alone
Could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice
Or you can go and send me on my way
I said your such a sweet young thing
Why'd you do this to yourself?
She looked at me and this is what she said
There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Not even fifteen minutes later, after walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up behind, put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
If you try to make a move I wont think twice
I told him you can have my cash
But first you know I've got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?
He said there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
Now a couple hours past, and I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much cause I know were all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay we got mouths to feed ain't nothing in this world for free
We can't slow down, we can't hold back though you know we wish we could
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good

PostModern Jukebox- Ain't No Rest For The Wicked(vintage jazz cover) - ft. Joey Cook

WHEN I GET LOW, I GET HIGH

My fur got sold
oh lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler
'cause I still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oooo I get high

My man walked out
Now you know that ain’t right
but he better watch out
If I meet him tonight
I said when I get low
Oooo I get high

All the bad luck in this town has found me 
Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me....


I’m all alone
With no-one to pet me
But the old rocking chair
Ain’t never gonna get me
‘Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high


My man's full up,
got his belly in a tangle
'cause I'm a slice of pie 
he just can't handle
and when I get low
Oooo I get high

My pockets are empty
and my chips are down
but I ain't gonna holler,
No, I ain't gonna frown
‘Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

All the bad luck in this town has found me 
Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me....

Woah there was a ruckus last night
I ended up in jail
but I ain't got to worry -
my girls got my bail
‘Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

I’m all alone
With no-one to pet me
But the old rocking chair
Ain’t never gonna get me
‘Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high
