(Puerta-Pack)

You come alive at quarter to three
You make haste for a taste
In the parking lot of misery
So down it goes, And up goes your need
So you're fine for the time
But you're on the line, Not in between

What can this stuff do to me?
Apothecary, some more of the same today
Fills that need

You're late again for chemistry class
You were up in the lab
With your chemical head in a flask
The truth is though, Your mind is a mess
You've just taken a dose
Now you're comatose in Pandora's chest

How could I do this to me?
Apothecary, oh please, where's the antidote?
For me

Looking for ways you can let it out
Sleep in the days, for tonight you'll roam about
Pull all the stops; you begin to shout
Life's a big dream and you sleep
'Till you come out
Come out

Fill my need
Apothecary
Fill my need
Apothecary

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
