10 Minute High Lyrics by Groove Theory

Groove Theory

1995

[Verse 1]
She, she doesn't need it, but she won't try
Try to release it, 'cause she thinks she'll die
Depending on it, for it, she'll lie
It's only a 10 minute high
Eyes that witnessed a father beat on a mother
Witnessed a system take away her only brother
No one ever said that they loved her
She used to shut her eyes and make the brain subside
[Chorus 1]
But now she's got her 10 minute high, just for a little while
She's queen of all the skies, if her head is bad, another one she can buy
But everybody tells her to stop, she would try
But nobody gave her a good reason why
[Verse 2]
Time has taken its toll, she looks too old
For seventeen, the girl is much too bold
Her heart is cold when it used to be of gold
Her future has no chance to unfold
She's used her body to get her way
Is she ashamed of the games she's played?
But her best defense is to block out all the pain
[Chorus 2]
But first she buys her 10 minute high, just for a little while
She's floatin' through the sky, what's she gonna do when she no longer can fly?
Is she gonna land on her feet or come down to die?
Or is she gonna just break down and cry?
[Bridge]
When she comes down it all becomes too clear
She knows that someday she should face her fears
But she lost touch of reality, and over the years
She's forgotten what it feels to be real
[Verse 3]
It's early morning, quiet is the street
She lays in silence, the cold cement beneath her feet
She passed away and today's her eighteenth birthday
And all she's left me to say is
[Chorus 3]
She just had her last 10 minute high
Did she contemplate that it would take away her life?
She probably knew, but she had no reason to fight
There is not a breath on her lips, not even a sigh
[Outro]
If only she had known wrong from right
Wrong from right
If only she had known wrong from right, from right, yeah, yeah, uh
If only she had known wrong
Wrong, wrong from right-right, right-right, yeah, uh, ah-ey
Bye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, girl, goodbye, bye
Mmh-mmh, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Yeah-yeah
