when the medicine man comes, he comes in full force

and I'm finally taking that medicine
the ones you kept telling me to
thanks for pushing me that way
even though it took a few years

and tess, she's getting better
and so is her man
I guess they've been together
for quite a while now

I heard it was their anniversary
not too long ago
and that just got me thinking
when would it be ours?

but I guess that doesn't matter
'cause you're better off
and everybody's telling me
calling you dirty

I should be glad that you're OK
I know in some way I am
remember that time I rang,
maybe a year ago?

I was sure you'd gone off
I was sure...
I was on the train and
I thought it was you
we were stuck a few hours
so I hate to say it
I was late for a date.

don't take it from me

will I ever see you again?
we spoke the other day
you ran after realising it was me

god, have I sinned?
"do what you want"
was all he said

so I stalked a chilli girl
but somehow never saw her
now time's ran out
and that chilli girl's already been replaced

cath'rine

Cath'rine takes you by the hand
you don't know where you're going
she leads you to her place
reminding you on the way
of all the good times that you had

wake up in the morning
tell me where's the one you love
it's not a sin to be a stranger
when you're all alone

and you can't help but thinking
maybe there's something left
you look out of the window
try to catch your breath
night you're crying to yourself

wake up in the morning
tell me where's the one you love
it's not a sin to be a stranger
when you're all alone

she's a girl with a dream
and she won't say no
just if you asked her
to remember
all the good times you once had
