Pass me some cannabis
I think there’s some in my mull bowl.
We smoked the last cone
An hour ago.
I’ve got a little heroin
But we’ve completely run out of coke.
There’s some diethyl ether
Huffing makes life sweeter
Chloroform and nitrous oxide
Just blow my mind.
Have you tried the laudanum?
Your mind will broaden some
It worked for Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And enabled him to write Kubla Khan.
Chorus
We’re all on the search for oblivion,
The long hard road to oblivion
(Repeat ad infinitum).

Excellent, Craig--but you forgot chugging 5 beers at once using a funnel

Coleridge wrote K.K. in his sleep. Interestingly, the greatest drug we know, and continually try to emulate, is the internal and self-made payoff for sex - which, ironically to the objective of many for taking drugs, produces an anti-oblivion effect by perpetuating the race, ad infinitum. Life is therefore, in everything, balance. Thanks for the thought-provoking work.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and intelligent response; they are rare. I was waiting for a bus today and decided to rip off Paul Simon's song 'America'. I thought it was funnny.
Mon, October 26th, 2020 11:22pmIf you look carefully at the Mull Bowl, the cannibus is roughly in the shape of the continent of Australia. I drink Scotch. All the other references to drug oblivion were merely rersearch, but necessary.
Is sex a drug, or merely a biological imperative?
Listen to Roxy Music's song 'Love is the Drug', Says it all.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciated it.
Cheers,
Craig.
