Oh man, I guess it's about walking around a drugstore, but...
This song has the most beautiful words about being a kid on the inside. I first thought the words were "why's everybody think I'm pretty? what do I want with all these things?" as if he is curious and oblivious as to all the reasons people like him and act so cryptic around him, when he's just tryna eat a twinkie.

The best song ever written about wandering round a superstore while completely off your face on acid.

Definitely about getting high and walking down to the drugstore to get a drink and snack.

what about lost in the supermarket by the clash @atropos
@4003 to me that song captures what it's like growing up in the suburbs, as if everyone just goes to the supermarket to buy a personality, but he's lost. All the normal things people experience aren't quite right when viewed from the perspective of a teenager. He only feels freedom when he "empties a bottle"

To me, this gorgeous little song is written from the perspective of someone on the outside looking in; someone who feels alone in life and can't help but want what others have, even if he desires this in spite of himself.
"I walked alone..." "What do I want with all these things?" "I stood in line, I had to wait..."
This song haunts me as I can relate.
