Yeah drmanhattan, it does seem weird that he would write "Love of life makes you feel higher," but i think it's an intentional use of irony. It's like at the end of "Colony" where he says, "Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand/God in his wisdom made you understand" and you can tell by his tone of voice that he means the exact opposite.
