The Drug Suite (Lyrics)
i was thinking - um - don't you wish there was like
another picture of Che Guevara. i'm thinking like, it
woulda been like one of him at a birthday party with a
bunch of nine-year olds with milk coming out of his nose
cause he just laughed a joke somebody told. anyway
this song has 3 little pieces in one the first one is
about being on LSD the second one is about not being on
any drug at a party when everyone else is drugged and
the third one is about going to choir rehearsal stoned
and it's called the drug suite and it goes like this:
--- I Must've Been High
wasn't that me in the electric chair?
and isn't it true i spent two days there
see my friends folks they were out of town
so we bought a sheet and we all got down
and every song sounded like an angel's choir
my edges were rounded
i had wings of fire
soaring through the sky i must've been high
i must've been high
i must've been high
sitting on the balcony watching the rail rust
slipping through my fingers like angel dust
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust)
must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust)
now didn't we vow to live in a tree
while staring at static on the tv
and when she said "i am a bird" (i am a bird)
i hung on tight and drank every word
and everything mattered
it's so different now
the ashes were scattered
we moved on somehow
never asking why i must've been high
i must've been high
sitting on the balcony watching the rail rust
slipping through my fingers like angel dust
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust) i must've been high
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust)
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust)
(slip through my fingers just like angel dust)
--- I'm Not On A Drug
no champagne in the bathtub party of coked up debutantes
they like having me around
i'm here to house the haunt
outside on the patio
the libations flow like song
but the explanation's wrong
and the nine foot two inch bong
but i am in the vestibule examining the rug
'cause i'm not on a drug
i'm not on a drug
now there's a den and in there men
pass a peace pipe all around
they're grooving to that sound
that psychedelic backwards merry-go-round
and in the kitchen we can't mention what the mothers are drinking
are they drunk?
stinking
and at the boys they're winking
i know this is a happening party and i don't want to make you yawn my darling
but i'm not on a drug (yawn)
i'm not on a drug
i really wish i was right now believe me
i didn't want to tell 'cause you might tease me (hm hm)
and in the toilet there's a boy
letting someone thread his needle
with hair just like a beatle
i'm not one to meddle
this really is a lovely party
your guests are erudite and arty
but i'm not on a drug
i'm not on a drug
i could be the guest that you regret
let me let you in on my big secret
i'm not on a drug
i'm not on a drug
didn't want to tell 'cause you might tease me
i really wish i was right now believe me
that psychedelic backwards merry-go-round
--- Arlington Hill
we took a trip for the first time in a bug
on
arlington hill
hip to hip shoulder to shoulder radio
blast
at everyone's ears
i saw you there
in the rear view
choking on smoke
and trying to be cool
if you should head for the ceiling
close both your eyes
then you'll see everything
cause suddenly there is a meaning
arlington hill helped me see everything
adams and crenshaw is beautiful and we
are
laughing in the sun
we parachute into church so we can sing
before
practice is done
when we raise our voice
stoned angels weep
i can feel the holy ghost
creeping up on me
and suddenly there is a meaning
arlington hill helped me see everything
cause suddenly there is a meaning
everything's alright
everything's alright
everything's alright
i know that everything's alright (everything's alright)
(everything's alright)
(everything's alright)
(everything's alright)
(everything's alright)
(everything's alright)
