Ellis Paul - Medicine lyrics

Marilyn Monroe bought a bungalow In sunny West Hollywood She took to the bottle; she threw out Aristotle Cause the thinking wasn't doing no good Its a goddamn waste its a bitter taste The pills we pop, the drinks we chase She threw down the script; she threw down the bottle Now whos gonna call Joe Dimaggio? Youre dressed for the fight; Its a Saturday night on the boulevard And I can hear in your voice Youre making bad choices Man, you only call me when it gets hard And we ask you to change And ain't it strange how friends disappear? Were tired of steering you clear Go ahead, fall all apart In boys town, they party round the clock The clock is spinning backwards The jesters doubletalk And if you listen to your language You could break the fall Of rhymes and steal back time If we took the medicine away Would the walls you build hold against the day? When the sky is falling, when heavens calling When you run from your past, your future is stalling You find your grip and hold against the day Heaven holds a place for those who pray
