High Times Lyrics
I put a bomb in your fire, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
I put a bomb in your fire, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
There is a way to predict the outcome of people like you
You are a sheep in sheep's clothing and you know, you know
I am a'coming to get you, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
There is a way to predict the outcome of people like you
I open up my gates and you become mine
It's game over in my undertow
I wish I could explain, but I just ain't got the time
So I'll show ya, watch out now here it goes
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you take off your armor for me?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free
I am the sun spark solar flame and you know, you know
There isn't any place anywhere that you go, you go
That you, you won't feel my flame
And when you try to resist it's like Ha-ha-ha-hot
There is no way around this tell me ho-ho-ho-holy roller, can you feel my flame?
I open up my gates and you become mine
It's game over in my under tow
And I wish I could explain, but I just ain't got the time
So watch out now, here it goes
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you take off your armor for me?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free
I think it's high time for me to give you a kiss
I bet you'd never find a thimble looking like this
I think it's high time for me to give you a kiss
If someone would cover for me well maybe it'da happen before the end of this riff
Cover for me
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you shrug off your armor for me?
Ooh-Ah-Oh-Ah-Oh-Ah-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free.

This song is undeniably sexy. But I can't decide if the speaker is an attractively persistent suitor or a predatory creep. Regardless, the line "If someone would cover for me, we'll make it happen 'fore the end of this bridge...cover for me!" only gets more charming with every listen.
prob my favorite landon song. i love its figurative language! and the "thimble" line still perplexes me..... i saw this live and it was the most amazing thing ever. he kissed a girl in the audience during the guitar solo. hahahah
WHIP IT!!!
I agree with peaceattack... This song IS sexy! I'd like to think the speaker is an attractively persistent suitor! ;) This is such a great song! And Whip It was a great movie!
I think the thimble part is an allusion to Peter Pan, when Peter gives Wendy a thimble and calls it a kiss
Yeah, that was the impression I was under.
