I could be high
They would know why
I’m always late
And why I can't stay awake
I could be high
They would know why
I'm always behind
And can’t think straight
I could be high
They would know why
I am not listening
I could be high
They would know why
I can’t account for my time
I could be high
I would know why
I don’t really try
They would know why
Plus I’d be high
I’ve heard it feels great! (Woo!)
They would know why
I did not reply
Or notify
Did not convey
Or relay
The chance slipped away
They would know why
They cannot rely on me
To follow through
Or keep an eye
On what I need to oversee
I made that riff
When I was in Portland
Legally high as hell
What do you think about that riff, folks
Did cannabis serve me well?
Standing in the hotel bathroom
Wife and kid asleep
Phone laid down by the sink
Sliding my finger back and forth
Laying down magnificent clavinet glissandos
The original drum part didn't the cut though
You'll just have to use your mind's ear
To imagine how fantastic that was
