Uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh I eat my dinner in my bathtub Then I go to sex clubs Watching freaky people getting it on It doesn't make me nervous If anything I'm restless Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all I get home, I got the munchies Binge on all my Twinkies Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep And I drank up all my money Tasted kind of lonely You're gone and I got to stay high All the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh High all the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh Spend my days locked in a haze Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you Pick up daddies at the playground How I spend my day time Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive I make it fast and greasy I know my way too easy You're gone and I got to stay high All the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh High all the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh Spend my days locked in a haze, Tryin' to forget you babe, I fall back down Got to stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you Staying in my play pretend Where the fun ain't got no end Oh, can't go home alone again Need someone to numb the pain Oh, staying in my play pretend Where the fun ain't got no end Oh oh can't go home alone again Need someone to numb the pain You're gone and I got to stay high All the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh High all the time to keep you off my mind, ooh ooh Spend my days locked in a haze Tryin' to forget you babe, I fall back down Got to stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you
