Let’s talk drugs.  I absolutely can’t imagine why anyone would choose to take strong pain medications if they don’t need them.  I hate that I can’t remember things and that I’m exhausted from them and that they make me feel odd.  Please sir, can I have another?  Seriously, I just don’t get it.  I nod off in conversations and can’t remember if I’ve seen a movie and can’t recall what I had for supper yesterday.  I’m not even sure they work because my hip still hurts and wasn’t that the point?  I wish I could remember the words to a Huey Lewis song called, “I want a new drug.”  I remember it had some great lyrics but (maybe because of these drugs) can’t repeat them back to you.   Wait, I just remembered the words (or found them online)…

I want a new drug
One that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new drug
One that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you

I want a new drug
One that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day

One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you, baby

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won’t make me feel too bad
One that won’t make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won’t make me talk too much
Or make my face break out

One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you

 

Ok, obviously I didn’t remember half of the words.   It was catchy though.  Oddly enough, I thought I wrote in the blog yesterday.  I didn’t.  I want a new drug.
