Drugstore from Jewelbug by Reid O'Rooney
It was 2001. Numbing out and feeling conflicted about the rat race. It's funny that I thought Lasqueti would help me escape all that (house, two kids, career blah blah). The things we can't predict eh?

Lyrics
I went to the drugstore
I got what I came for
I walked out the front door
And into the big world
It came to me slowly
In parts and un-wholey
So high and so lowly
The pain was all gone
Stare into the light
Walk into the day
Acting on your best behaviour
Put yourself on layaway
Stare into the light
Run into the day
Start the countdown ten to zero
Throw yourself into the fray, into the fray…
Awake at the door slam
From bed into bedlam
I heard the same program
I started the coffee
I got in my small car
I drove it by radar
I can’t tell you how far
I followed the day
Stare into the light
Walk into the day
Start the countdown ten to zero
Put yourself on layaway
Stare into the light
Run into the day
Madame Zorba knows your future
Throw yourself into the fray, into the fray…
I went to the drugstore
I got what I came for
I walked out the front door
And into the big world
It came to me slowly
In parts and unholy
So high and so lowly
The time was all gone, the time was all gone…
