Medicine Jar


(Bolan, Hill, Snake)
Backing Vocals : Rachel and Snake

Caught the mother jack knifin³
A little bit low lifin³
Goin³ twenty paces with the medicine man
Runnin³ from the girl in pigskin
A little gun shy but shootin³
Hidin³ in the kitchen with his head in his hand

Bleed, me -- why can³t you say what you mean ?

Chorus
How far has it gone, it didn³t take you long
To put your hand in the medicine jar
In your private hell, now you³ve found yourself
In the hands of the medicine jar

Sittin³ here with all your bitchin³
Cookin³ up a new addiction
Prayin³ that the light of day ain³t wakin³ the dead
Droppin³ like a bomb on Hiro
Shakin³ like San Francisco
Only to be diggin³ out to do it again

Bleed, me -- why can³t you say what you mean ?

Repeat Chorus

Make it go away, make it go a--way

Caught the mother jack knifin³
A little bit of low lifin³
Goin³ twenty paces with the medicine man
Droppin³ like the bomb on Hiro
Shakin³ like San Francisco
Hidin³ in the jungle with your head in the sand

Repeat Chorus 2x

One step from bein³ free, what did you think
You³d see at the bottom of the medicine jar
