Medecine Jar Lyrics - Skid Row

Caught the mother jack knifin' 

A little bit low lifin' 

Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man 

Runnin' from the girl in pigskin 

A little gun shy but shootin' 

Hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand 

Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean? 

(chorus) 

How far has it gone, it didn't take you long 

To put your hand in the medicine jar 

In your private hell, now you've found yourself 

In the hands of the medicine jar 

Sittin' here with all your bitchin' 

Cookin' up a new addiction 

Prayin' that the light of day ain't wakin' the dead 

Droppin' like a bomb on hiro 

Shakin' like san francisco 

Only to be diggin' out to do it again 

Bleed, me--why can't you say what you mean? 

(repeat chorus) 

Make it go away, make it go a--way 

Caught the mother jack knifin' 

A little bit of low lifin' 

Goin' twenty paces with the medicine man 

Droppin' like the bomb on hiro 

Shakin' like san francisco 

Hidin' in the jungle with your head in the sand 

(repeat chorus 2x) 

One step from bein' free, what did you think 

You'd see at the bottom of the medicine jar
