Because I got HIGH.

	Over bridge of sighs
	To rest my eyes in shades of green
	Under dreamin' spires
	To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been

	What did you do there?
	I got high
	What did you feel there?
	Well I cried
	But why the tears there?
	I'll tell you why
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful

	I feel inclined to blow my mind
	Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
	They all come out to groove about
	Be niceand have fun in the sun

	Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
	I'd like to go there now with you
	You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
	Why go to learn the words of fools?
	What will we do there?
	We'll get high
	What will we touch there?
	We'll touch the sky
	But why the tears then?
	I'll tell you why

	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful

	I feel inclined to blow my mind
	Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
	They all come out to groove about
	Be nice and have fun in the sun

	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	It's all too beautiful
	Ha! It's all too beautiful

That'll teach them Flatlanders a thing or two.

Of course, MacArthur Park does the job just fine, thank you very much.

All that sweeeet green icing . . .
