Lyrics I Couldn't Get High - The Fugs

I Couldn't Get High

Well, I went to a party
Just the other night
I wanted to feel my brain was light
So I grabbed myself a bottle
And I started drinking wine
I thought pretty soon, I’d be feeling fine…
But I couldn’t get high!
Oh, No!
But I couldn’t get high!
Oh, No!
So I threw down the bottle
And I wiped out my pipe
And I stuffed it full of grass
And i gave myself a light
I huffed, I puffed
I smoked and I toked
But after awhile, my heart was nearly broke… because
I couldn’t get high, Oh, No!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, No!
So I threw down my pot
As mad as I can be
And I gobbled up a cube of LSD
I waited 30 minutes for my body to sink
I waited and I waited but I couldn’t feel a thing
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
Don’t know why, oh, no!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
