Medicine Lyrics

You can find another country if you want 
Somewhere you can hide yourself away 
Find yourself another set of holes to haunt 
Get yourself another debt that you can't pay 

Yeah, you can try to run for cover everywhere 
Add another letter to your name 
Burn everything you ever used to wear 
Get yourself another lover that looks the same 

But sometimes it's the medicine itself that makes the pain 

Well, you can always make another move again 
Another set of keys, a different town 
And you can try to lose yourself in them 
'Till the truth it catches up and cuts you down 

'Cos sometimes it's the medicine itself that makes the pain 

And you can always hide the wreckage that you come from 
But every new disguise is just another lie to run from. 

You can only try to fool yourself so long 
With any kind of measure you can find 
'Cos every phony pleasure you've been on 
Has lifted off and left the pain behind. 

'Cos sometimes it's the medicine itself that makes the pain
