The Drug Suite Songtext
von Stew

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 have been high
I must have been high

Sitting on the balcony watching the rail rust
Slipping through my fingers like angel dust
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)
Must have been high
(Slipped 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 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 have been high
I must have been high
Sitting on the balcony watching the rail rust
Slipping through my fingers like angel dust
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

I must have been high
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

I must have been high
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

I must have been high
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

I must have been high
(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

(Slipped through my fingers just like angel dust)

There′s 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 in 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 them in 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

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

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

We took a trip for the first time in a bug
On Arlington Hill
Hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder
Radio blast in 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
And suddenly there is a meaning
And everything′s alright
Everything's alright
Everything's alright
I know that everything′s alright
(Everything′s alright)
(I know that everything's alright)
(Everything′s alright)

(Everything's alright)
