A Little Too High Lyrics - Nomeansno

Thumb it on the plunger and press it to your inner thigh 

A spot of blood, a strand of hair beneath the bathroom light 

I want to kiss it and make it feel better 

I want to trace in it the twenty fourth letter 

But I sick of it already I just a little too high 

We'll walk a block and stand in line and watch the flashing lights 

The bouncer is a friend of mine, he'll get us in all right 

But when we kiss, please don't look me in the eye 

When our tongues are twisted, just close them tight 

Don't you prefer a bitter taste to a bitter sight? 

I do 

I just a little too high 

Lizard brains and mucus stains and greasy little dove's thighs 

Broken wings for eyebrows over glaring, multi-coloured eyes 

A clearly traced rib-cage beneath your underarms 

Yours finger spread like starfish 

It won't do you no harm - so why do you cry? 

You're just a little too high 

Juvenile delinquents are screaming on the street, black cars and white cars meet 

Like cats and sharks and laughing voices peak above the fumes and the rumble 

Shots ring out from down the street, skirts ride clear of thighs, hair tumbles 

Anger and vomit collide with a right cross 

You look a little sick, you look a little lost 

You say you can see frost on my breath through my phoney, frozen smile 

Excuse me? 

You're just a little too 

Tangled intravenous tubes, the smell of alcohol and glue 

A dildo candle in a skull, you know the routine very well 

Your lower back is arched and stiff under my claws 

And like a crocodile child I nestle in your jaws 

A friend's space, just beds in a place 

Is that a nipple? is that a cock? 

Surely something sensuous has trickled over us 

Like streams of come on porcelain, like cold rain on a rock 

We are multi-coloured candies, sweet and hard 

Or the salty, jagged edges of crystal quartz 

And as you roll over the covers 

From one mouth to another 

I almost miss you, I almost say goodbye 

But I a little too high
