bitter medicine
The Crane Wives
Somebody take my keys, I'm in no shape for driving
I made my bed but I’ll sleep anywhere, anywhere
Are you ashamed of me, or did you buy what I'm selling?
It won’t last you long, it’ll disappear
I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don’t hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison, I don’t wanna spit bitter medicine
I think it’s making me sick
Don’t look up to me, I'm not as tall as you think
You see, I talk a big game but it’s bullshit
Somebody clean me up, it’s a mess that I'm making
The pain is weak but it spreads anyway, anyway
Is it a gift you give, or something precious I'm taking?
It’s lowly sympathy for all my worst mistakes
I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don’t hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison, I don’t wanna spit bitter medicine
I think it’s making me sick
Don’t look up to me, I'm not as tall as you think
You see, I talk a big game but it’s bullshit
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh-oh
I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don’t hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison, I don’t wanna spit bitter medicine
I think it’s making me sick
Don’t look up to me, I'm not as tall as you think
You see, I talk a big game but it’s bullshit
