A former member of Alice Cooper's band, bassist Kip Winger formed his own group in 1986; in addition to vocalist/bassist Winger, the group featured lead guitarist Reb Beach, guitarist/keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein, formerly of the Dixie Dregs. Taking its name from its leader, Winger specialized in the stylish hard rock that sent Bon Jovi and Poison to the top of the charts. The band's eponymous debut sold over a million copies on the strength of the rocker "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak." Winger's second album, 1990's In the Heart of the Young, was equally successful, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away." However, the band didn't outlast the grunge trend and the group faded away after the release of its 1993 album Pull. Kip Winger launched a solo career at the tail end of the '90s. In early 2006, the "Pull" 1993 line-up reunited, along with a fifth member on keyboards.

Higher & Higher Lyrics

Winger

Higher 'n' higher!
I see this lady took a bite out of you
And you can't go on in this condition
You go blind just tryin' to crawl out of bed
Like you're the sacrifice of superstition
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Chorus:
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Primal scream, she's got the body of sin
Should be a law against such an invention
A little smile to let you see that she knows
And can sense the smell of your intentions
She's so down-hearted, she feeds the want, feeds the need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, now you'll never be the same
(Solo)
Once bitten, it's forever a game, 'cos her heart will resist all penitention
Now you live for just another chance, to her pleasure that's around the nation
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you need her love
chorus
Higher 'n' higher
