Lyrics
Legal High
She goes out every Friday night
With her friends who treat her right
She phones her folks if she'll be late
So they don't have to wait
One night she missed the usual crew
At a loss as to what to do
Then a friend of a friend
Asked her to experiment
Chorus
How to explain ?
Who's to blame ?
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
Verse
Got them down at the grocery store
Won't need any of them no more
Smell of incense, oh so sweet
What devastation they would wreak
Just a few hours later
Her parents saw her again
Lips of blue, skin so pale
Iced water in her veins
Chorus
Tell me
How to explain ?
Who's to blame ?
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
Won't you tell me
How to explain ?
Who's to blame ?
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
No time for goodbyes
After getting legally high
