lyrics

you can’t get high in highwood

there ain’t no deer in deerfield

isn’t nothing north of northbrook

unless you’re south of me

waukegan’s lost all meaning

and i’ve never been to elgin

there ain’t nothing outta ottawa

unless you’re outta weed

and i ain’t going to naperville

i think it might kill me



(flash forward)




to when pogroms come to palatine

the russians take deer creek (they already did)

sure, buffalo grove gets hunted cold

to the point that it goes extinct

and the skokie swift goes rogue quick

and dan ryan’s losing sleep


you’re fucking with old patio bullshit

i’m signing a ten-year lease

and i won’t go to lisle, no

unless you’re making me



(little inside tip)



there ain’t a glen in glenview

no rory’s in aurora


there ain’t no bars in lombard

not unless you know a guy

and, no, you can’t park in highland park

unless you married a hustler


and the same thing goes for highwood

if you’re trying to get high



(listen)




i can get down on quaaludes

i can get down on speed


i can get down on ketamine:

right-the-fuck-down on my knees

i can get down on vicodin

i can get down on benzedrine

coricidin, coricidin, coricidin:

cleft for me

but i can’t get down on my hometown

I think i’ve built a tolerance



(final lesson)




the muppets take manhattan

steve dahl blows up comiskey

tom skilling takes a smoke break

as svengoolie takes the lead

mein zuhause ist der strand

ma maison est la plage


mi casa es la playa

the beach is mine, goddamn

and i ain’t going to highland park

‘cept to bury my old man
