Bitter Medicine Songtext
von 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 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?
Stolen 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 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

I bite my tongue to keep the worst of the words in
So they don′t hurt nobody but me
Swallow the poison I 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
