Too High For The Supermarket

The Uninvited

Got the craving for some lunch,

but I ain't got nothing to munch

My mind is set on just one wish

a big ol' sandwich - tuna fish

Time to make a grocery run,

I'll walk there in the morning sun

Make a list of what I need most:

Tuna fish and bread (for toast)

And though my stomach may be empty,

I'll feed my head from the horn of plenty

Roll a joint Bob Marley style

and smoke it 'till it makes me smile



Starting off in aisle one,

fruits and veggies by the ton

Hey check it out, raddiccio!

These red leaves, man, they almost glow!

And bok choy! I've always wanted to try it,

I wonder if I have enough to buy it?



It's grown in Japan, or maybe China,

or maybe some farm in South Carolina?

Just then I hear a voice in my head:

"stay focused, man, tuna & bread,"

But right now I'm in produce bliss

Oh man, I'm too high for this



Too high for the supermarket,

too high for the grocery store

Too high for the supermarket,

ain't gonna shop like this no more



(Everyone in here is staring at me...)



Sixteen different brands of tuna,

Chicken of the Sea or Big Kahuna

Packed in oil, packed in water,

dolphin friendly, dolphin slaughtered

And oh God, what about the bread?

Should I get white or wheat instead?

Or... rye! Rye's the best I've tasted

Rye is best when ever you're wasted!



Too high for the supermarket,

too high for the grocery store

too high for the supermarket

ain't gonna shop like this no more



Finally done, its check-out time,

searching for the shortest line

The Express Lane! But they don't take checks..

and you've got to have ten items or less,



so let's see...

Ding Dongs, a bag of chips,

Cap'n Crunch and some onion dip,

(it's sugar and salt, space and schism,

the yin and yang of munchie Taoism)

I got my favor
