Bad Medicine Waltz Lyrics - The Cult

It's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

It's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand 

For that bad medicine 

The crowds are full of heroes, propping up the mark 

With their empty goals, it's starting 

And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes 

Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide 

Don't you give into that bad medicine 

Keep on smiling 

It's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

Oh, it's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

I've heard about this new world you're building 

But will there be room for me? It's starting 

And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes 

Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide 

Reach out for that bad medicine 

Ooh, feel your skin burn, feel your soul turn 

Don't you give into, don't you give into 

That bad medicine, bad medicine 

Smile, it may take a while 

But it's better than being nailed to the floor 

Spit in their face if they stare while you're down 

Don't reach out for that bad medicine 

Don't reach out for that bad medicine 

Try smiling or smile or smile, bad medicine get hold of 

Bad medicine get hold of you, wipe away the tears 

With the skin from my hide, wipe away the tears 

With the skin from my hide 

It's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

It's funny how people stare 

When your back's against the wall 

I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand 

For that bad medicine, don't you give into 

Don't you give into that bad medicine, that bad medicine 

Mm, bad medicine, mm, bad medicine
