I saw my pharmacist the other day
He said you’d better find a way
To cut out your dependence
On the artificial stimulants
So ever since you came along
My constitution feels so strong
I’m trading my bad habits
For a natural high
You’re a sensation I can’t describe
You’re every drug that Aldous Huxley was prescribed
You are my ecstasy and my amphetamines
You are a joint that’s rolled with gold and laced with methydrine
You’re a temptation I can’t resist
You’re every snorter that Cole Porter ever sniffed
Just like some speedball out of the blue
And now all my trips have been eclipsed by you
When I’m completely out of my brain
This sensation that you’re giving me
Has been intoxication once again
I’m in Haight Ashbury when you are near
And I see those psychedelic flowers appear
It’s a cold turkey when we’re apart
And this sensation that you’re giving me
Has been intoxication since
You came like a narcotic
And made everything chaotic
And your influence hypnotic
Proved exotic and erotic
From the start
