"Can't Get High" lyrics
"Can't Get High"
I've been working all day
I've been shaking it loose
It's been raining for hours
I've been spilling my juice
Nothing means nothing
I couldn't care less
And now that you're gone
I can't even guess
I've got snakes in my cellar
I've got blood in my bed
Bombs in the closet
They're all painted cherry red
And I feel like a mad scientist
I've got loose change in my head
Nothing but trouble these days
I eat bullets in my bread
Now that you're gone
I'm sober every night
I can't get high - no
I can't get right
Violently romantic
On a seven day binge
Losin' a gamble
But I get my revenge
Start thinking about thunder
And I get mad again
Soaking up electricity
Like bourbon and gin
Now that you're gone
I'm sober every night
I can't get high - no
I can't get right
Hallucinated green light
And I slammed on the gas
My performance ain't perfect
But it's loud and it's fast
Set sail for the new world
And I burned down the mast
Well, it wasn't the first time
And I know it won't be the last
Now that you're gone, honey
I'm sober every night
I can't get high - no
I can't - get - right
Get right

Naked, afraid
Young mother screams and pushes you
The day you came
Oh joy begin
Weak little thing
More precious there'll be nothing, no
Oh joy begin
Let's not forget these early...
Chris Robinson Brotherhood - "Rosalee" Rosalee, you little country thang
Sho 'nuff know how to make me smile
You like the jangle of my tambourine
Won't you stay with me a little while
Rosalee, sugar sweet
How I'd like to make you mine...
Little Feat - "Skin It Back" Well I'm waitin' for something to take place
Something to take me away from this race
'Round city to city, town to town
Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown
And that desperate, no count, desperado...
Blues Traveler - "But Anyway" I lied and told her I loved her,
She didn't care, but anyway
I told her we'd still be friends,
And she didn't care, but anyway
I tried last week for to call her,
She wasn't home, but anyway
I think...
