Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rugs topography...

    and even better example of why the nurse cant be a drug metaphor is lookin at the 2 last sentences of the chorus, they dont add anything to the drug metahpor.

    'she's falling hard for me' would mean 'the drug's falling hard for me'. makes no sense. it would be the opposit.

    'she acts like a nurse with all the other guys'. so, that would mean 'she acts like a drug to the other guys'. so suddenly she's not a drug to him anymore. this would actually contradict the statement 'she/the nurse' is a drug metaphor to him.

    so no. shes not drugs.
