lyrics

I got high for the very first time
At fifteen with my friends
And ate some kind of veg-a-table
That’s been elusive to me since

The joint was the size of a cucumber
With an ounce of weed or more
We lit up at five to noon
And the damn thing burned ‘til four

I didn’t think I even felt that much
Until I stood up off the couch
And floated up them basement stairs
Into the heat of a dragon’s mouth

We fell back to my Mama’s house
Weary-eyed and slow
That’s where I was chowing down
When my dear old Mama come home

You never seen two stoners run so fast
Thru the backdoor, quick on our feet
Huffing and puffing like we stole something
Being anything but discreet

But we survived and high high-fived
I bought a Zebra Cake up the way
Walked around ‘til we came down
It was nothing but an innocent day

So lay off the grass
Lay off the weed
It’s not a Class One
It’s a flower from a seed
And I love flowers
Everybody does
I think of dirty pharmaceuticals
When I think of drugs

(I think about it)

I got high for the thousandth time
At twenty-five with my band
And rode around for all these years
Singing songs wearing funny hats

I’ve met a lot people suffering from all kinds of things
Hanging on by a thread
And I can relate so we would stay up late
And spend a little time out of our heads

Again and again, the best medicine
From lawyers up to hotel maids
Give an epileptic kid a little cannabis
Put some butter in a birthday cake

So lay off the grass
Lay off the weed
It’s not a mortal sin
It’s a flower from a seed
And I love flowers
Everybody does
I think of dirty pharmaceuticals
Overpriced medicinals
Escaping from a hospital
When I think of drugs
