High in Church - Trevor Moore

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

Oh Lord forgive me

This is the worst

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

Oh God please help me

This is the worst

Went home for Christmas

And Brian came over I was nervous

'Cause he brought a bag of shrooms and pot

And I’m new to this I’m just learnin'

Got a little too high on accident

Yeah that’s right, not on purpose

Then mom busted in my room

And said we had to go to midnight service

Now we’re in the minivan

And my friends don’t understand

I’m freaking out here man

Trying to remember who I am

My mom is talking to me

And that’s just making it worse

We walk into the lobby

Oh shit, I’m high in church

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

Oh God please help me

This is the worst

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

I’m high as hell

This is the worst

Quick, go grab a pew

I’m freaking out, don’t know what to do

There’s an old war vet snoring next to me

And I think he’s been here since World War II

I’m peaking here

I’m wigging out

They know I’m stoned

There is no doubt

Brian is reading the Bible and laughing

I plead for him to cut it out

But he’s giggling loud, he starts to cry

He’s turning red, I don’t know why

He’s like a goddamn neon billboard saying «Hey y’all, we’re super high»

I ask him what his problem is

And what’s making him laugh

He points to a verse that says

«The Lord opened up the mouth of an ass»

Oh my God, that’s super gross!

Why the hell is that in there?

My mom shushes both of us

And people turn around and stare

I take the book from Brian

The choir begins to sing

It dawns on me that I’ve never actually read this thing

I open up the pages, and then start flipping through

I find it calms me down and gives my mind something to do

It says some beautiful things about forgiveness and love

Till I get to the end when God comes back

Wilds out, and straight up fucks Earth up!

Holy shit, did you know this?

Read this last part, what the fuck?

Spoiler alert, God comes back with dragons and murders everyone!

What happened to the lovey-dovey stuff from the other verse?

Oh shit man, I can’t handle this right now, I’m high in church!

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

Oh God please help me

This is the worst

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

I’m high as hell

This is the worst

Need to get where no one can see

So I excuse myself to take a pee

But in the bathroom my old youth pastor

Comes up and stands next to me

Oh great, he’s probably gonna start yapping about how my soul is eternal

But instead he just asks why my pants are down at the urinal

«Oops, um, sorry about that

Nice to see you, gotta go»

Oh my God, I’m high as balls

And there’s no way he doesn’t know

Shit is getting out of hand

I’m getting higher

Need to make a plan

Maybe tell mom I’m sick

And try to get the keys to sleep this off in the van

I scoot back to my seat and notice everyone has stopped singing

The pastor asks if there is anyone here who is visiting

Mom gets excited, raises her hand

I tell her no, but she makes me stand

Pastor asks if I’m just here for Christmas and I say «I am»

The congregation turns around

The pastor asks me how I’ve been

And that’s about when the goddamn shrooms

Decided it was time to kick the fuck on in

«Trevor you’ve really done it now»

Holy shit, what’s going on?

What is that voice?

I’m freaking out!

«This is Satan and you’ve summoned me to seal your doom»

Whoa, hold up, wait a minute

I don’t even think I believe in you

«I exist within subconsciousness down in your mind

But you did drugs and went to church, so now your soul is mine

For all eternity!

You will never escape my clutch»

Okay uh, first of all I think that seems like a little much

A joint and couple caps and stems

Is that all that a soul is worth?

And God made everything I’ve done tonight!

All of it’s from the Earth!

The mushrooms and the pot, yo He made it all!

The nitrous, and the Adderall!

Muscle relaxers, maybe a little coke

But if that damns me for eternity

Then if you ask me the system’s broke!

Then Satan disappeared, and shrieked a shrieking sound!

I sent him back to Hell because I fucking stood my ground!

The church stares at me!

Their eyes are open wide!

And the pastor asks if I’d stop shouting and please go outside

(Spoken)

Uh, sure.

Sorry, it’s just that…

I’m high in church

I’m high in church

Whatever man

I guess it could be worse

I’m high in church

That’s what I am

Sorry mom, I guess

I’ll be outside in the van

(Spoken)

Whatever man

I’m gonna be out listening to the radio

Wake me up when you guys are done
