If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells

Drugstore is a common American term for a type of store centrally featuring a pharmacy. Drugstores sell not only medicines, but also miscellaneous items such as candy, cosmetics, and magazines, as well as light refreshments. In the mid 1980's, during the height of the "war on drugs", many stores removed the term "Drugstore" from their signage and replaced it with the more politically correct term "Pharmacy".
