Medicine Lyrics - Some Other Sucker's Parade - Del Amitri

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 

Sometimes it's the medicine 

Yeah, 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 

'Cause sometimes it's the medicine 

Sometimes it's the medicine 

Yeah, 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 

Yeah, you can only try to fool yourself so long 

With any kind of measure you can find 

'Cause every phony pleasure you've been on 

Has lifted off and left the pain behind 

'Cause sometimes it's the medicine 

Sometimes it's the medicine 

Yeah, sometimes it's the medicine itself 

That makes the pain
