VERSE 1
Let’s have a little something
To liven up this party.
May I offer you a drink?
What’s in it? it’s the drink of kings.
Go ahead, refill your cup.
I hope this liquor’s strong enough
To convince you to take this party up
To your bedroom.
CHORUS
Why can’t the music
Alone be your high?
Do we need drugs and alcohol
To have a good time?
You say I look like I’m “feeling good.”
Well, honestly, No, I’m just feeling sober.
There’s something I’ve never understood:
Are you really you when the chemicals take over?
VERSE 2
I got into it with a friend
Pros and cons of hallucinogens.
Said he’s never more fucked up
Than when under the influence
Of social pressures.
Look like this, think like this,
Act like this, be like this.
Looking-Glass Self…
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Back to Looking-Glass Identity:
I am simply what I think
You want me to be.
So what’s reality? I know, you
Take a sip, of liquid courage.
Take a hit of pure bliss.
But you know that when you crash back down,
The real world’s still gonna be around
BRIDGE
With social pressures.
Look like this, think like this,
Act like this, be like this.
Sometimes, we deal with it
By delving in to the
Ethereal just to feel
Something beyond these
Social pressures.
Look like this, think like this,
Act like this, be like this.
Sometimes, we don’t want to deal with it.
Sometimes, we just don’t.
But other times…?
CHORUS
Why can’t the music
Alone be your high?
Guess we need drugs and alcohol
To have a good time.
You’ve said I look like I’m “feeling good.”
When honestly, No, I’m just feeling sober.
And there’s something I’ve never understood:
Are you really you when the chemicals take over?
