I am a pharmacodynamics novelty
Pills and drugs have an opposite effect on me.
Stuff that puts others to sleep for days
Barely keeps me in a simple haze.
Drugs that bring others rapidly up,
Knock me out the second I sup.
My brain must be somehow out of whack.
I am a pharmacodynamics hack.
One important fact I dare not smother,
These drugs do the same to my mother.
