No Picture Tom Average	#1 by Tom Haas at Jan 12, 1971 at 2:39 AM EST
	This song is about escaping to the freedome of drugs. He talks about the 'mode of pleasure' and 'its outta this world... too bad i must always leave it'... Life is hard and drugs form an escape route, unfortunately they only last a while, and you soon need more and more of them to have the same effect...
