MEDICINE MAN
I woke up in a dream
I dreamed I could not be seen
I walked around without a sound
Amongst the dead below the ground
Selling life in tiny jars

I was a medicine man
With eyes the colour of sand
With tricks and Styx and 6-6-6
I strode across the land

It was a place I knew
Enchantments grew there too
Where gravestones talked and corpses walked
And inside the nite the demons stalked
Pulling down the stars

I was a medicine man
With eyes the colour of sand
With tricks and Styx and 6-6-6
I strode across the land

In silence people spoke
Their mouths made out of smoke
Their thoughts stirred into weird words
And all they said they knew I heard
Saying “Oh too fast too far”

I was a medicine man
With eyes the colour of sand
With tricks and Styx and 6-6-6
I strode across the land

You gotta understand, understand
I am a medicine man, medicine man
You gotta know that I could show
The path on which they could come and go
Which way the river was going to flow
All these things they were just so
Cos I’m a medicine man, medicine man
Cos I’m a medicine man, medicine man
Cos I’m a medicine I’m a medicine
I’m a medicine man,
Medicine man
