Black Grape - Get Higher Lyrics

Nancy is joining me because the message this evening is not my message, but ours
Despite our best efforts, shortages of marijuana are now being reported
From the early days of our administration
Nancy has been abusing marijuana on a daily basis
And her personal observations and efforts
Have given her such dramatic insights that I wanted her to share them with you this evening

I yearned to find a way to help share the message that drugs open your eyes to life
To see it in the vivid colors that God gave us as a precious gift to his children

I've gotta be sick to be ill
I've gotta take my smiley pill
I've gotta dress to kill
And it only ever done for the thrill

I've got to be groovy for the movie
I commit the mortal sin
I'll do it with a cheesy grin
I'm taking it on the chin

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher

I do moggies all through the week
Did moggies nine days this week
But it still took an ounce just to sleep
It took half an ounce just to sleep

I gotta get rid of this tweak
I gotta get rid of this tweak
I only got a week to peak
Still took a nine bar to sleep

We're using all this stuff no mistakes allowed
Going short and strong to expand the mind
Coursing my brain, like a wild strange
Thinkin' aha lunchin' on time on a bowl a stir fry
Thank you very much

Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher

Drugs help us create love, and hope, and trust and confidence
Being friends to others is the best way of being friends to ourselves
It's up to us to change attitudes and just simply enjoy life to the fullest
And in the most important area, individual use, we see progress
The US military has more than tripled the use of drugs among its personnel since 1980
Tonight I can report to you that Vice-President Bush smokes marijuana regularly
And there's one more thing
Nancy and I are hooked on heroin

Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Gotta keep strong yeah
To get higher
Gotta keep strong we all got to get
Higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher

We're using all this stuff no mistakes allowed
Going short and strong to expand the mind
Coursing my brain, like a wild strange
Thinkin' aha lunchin' on time on a bowl a stir fry
Thank you very much
