BRUCE COCKBURN WITH A TWIST

Rewrite of "Making Contact," by Alex Riggle

Step outside, take a whiff of the grass
Then sit and wait for the asthma to pass
Taking Contac, taking Contac

My head feels huge, these pills are small
I feel so bad I want to swallow them all
Taking Contac, taking Contac

Smelling nothing cos I'm all stuffed up
When I move I feel like my head will blow up
Taking Contac, taking Contac

So many ways to start to wheeze
Dustmites, pollen, polluted breeze
Pardon me but I have to ah- ah-- ahhhhchoo!!

Taking Contac, swimming in an ocean of drugs
See that sign coming into sight
(Swimming in an ocean of drugs)
"Salad bar contains sulfites"
(Swimming in an ocean of drugs)
See those trees blooming in the spring?
(Swimming in an ocean of drugs)
All that pollen is an evil thing
(Swimming in an ocean of drugs)
