Too High Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm too high, I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky
I'm too high, I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

[Verse 1]
She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four eyed cartoon monster on the T.V. screen
She takes another puff and says "It's a crazy scene"
That red is green and she's a tangerine

[Chorus]
I'm too high, I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground
I'm too high, I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down

[Verse 2]
She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice, she wasn't very nice

[Chorus]
I'm too high, I'm too high
I can't ever touch the sky
I'm too high, I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die

[Verse 3]
She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
And did you hear the news about the girl today?
She passed away, what did her friend say?

[Outro]
They said she's too high, too high
Can't hang around anyway...

About

Stevie Wonder may be blind, but he reads the national landscape, particularly regarding black America, with penetrating insight on Innervisions, the peak of his 1972-73 run of albums–including Music of My Mind and Talking Book.

Fusing social realism with spiritual idealism, Wonder brings expressive color and irresistible funk to his synth-based keyboards on Too High (a cautionary anti-drug song).
