HIGH by The Blackmail Seduction (all rights reserved)

Fumble at the door
missed button on her shirt
and the coffee burns her hand

How she tries to stretch out
the life of that ragged old purse
that she got secondhand

Phone tucked in her jeans
now she knows what it means
to be livin’ on the edge

How she cried when she lost her house
but now she’s off
in her new Mercedes Benz

Oh yeah
Cause she’s high,
so high
Yeah she’s high,
so high
Cause sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind
There has got to be some logic behind
why you’re high

The family picture
sits on his desk
in a sterling silver frame

It’s his wife and his kids
all in their matching shirts
perfect in every way

In strolls his assistant
and they can’t keep their distance
so they’re off to lunch to play

It ain’t nothin’ but lust
and now he’s off in a rush
he’s got to make it home for dinner so he can say grace

Cause he’s high,
so high
Yeah he’s high,
so high
Cause sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind
There has got to be some logic behind
why you’re high

So long modesty
we’re taking some more
Cause we got all the attitude
without the skills to back it
And if it ain’t our way
we’re gonna cry on the floor

Cause we’re high,
so high
Yeah we’re high,
so high
Cause sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind
Can’t make sense out of the how and the why
There has got to be some logic behind
why we’re high
