It's thinking time in the daytime
It's thinking time in the night
It's thinking time in the daytime
It's thinking time in the night
Sitting at home and listening to the radio
High-grade grass you know it was from Ontario
The man in stereo says the news is bad, but we’re so glad
Northwest winds moving in, you know that can't be so bad
So you've got to sit at home and listen to the radio
Smokin' high-grade grass you know she said it came from Ontario
Chorus
Skies coming down all around, makes the streets so damn pretty
No school no books no roads you're off the hook, in a snow-blinded city
Word on the wild wild web says you might as well head on back to bed
There's nothing you can do no matter what your IQ sleepyhead
So you've got to sit at home and listen to the radio
Smokin' high-grade grass you know she said it came from Ontario
Chorus
