Timbuk 3 - Two Medicines lyrics

Two medicines, I need them every day Two medicines to keep the doctor away One to drown my sorrows One to face my fears Laughter and tears Laughter and tears Two medicines, I swear they ain't no crime Two medicines and they don't cost a dime They heal the body, cleanse the soul Help me master self-control Two medicines have helped me through the years Laughter and tears Laughter and tears Two medicines, life's little pleasures Two medicines to help relieve the pressure Pressure from without, pressure from within Pressure in my bloodstream, pressure on my skin Pressure from my elders, pressure from my peers Laughter and tears Laughter and tears There was a man so masculine He would not take his medicine No pain could penetrate his pride He kept his feelings locked inside His final years were such a waste That when he died his dear wife place Upon his grave this epitaph: His life was so funny he forgot to laugh Two medicines are all we really need Two medicines, effectiveness guaranteed They aid communication, make for better s** You can mix the two together with no bad side effects Two medicines to help you through the years Laughter and tears Laughter and tears Two medicines, I need them every day Two medicines to keep the doctor away One to drown my sorrows, one to face my fears Laughter and tears Laughter and tears
