Sugar and spice and everything weird
a tug on Jupiter's beard
equal parts bay, henbane and kelp
a tooth from a spotted wolf's whelp
garlic, cayenne, turmeric and lime
a wood spoon to stir into slime
who's laugh?
Medicine, funky medicine
nasty medicine
medicine, kinky medicine
a taste of your own medicine
Sister Moon whisper the words over the fire
homegrown medicine
Sensual purple of a deeper shade
visions flash on a new blade
Montezuma's flesh; licorice tomb
the smile of a young girl in bloom
add whatever you want for taste
and share! Don't let it go to waste!
who's laugh?
Medicine, voodoo medicine
Chinese medicine
medicine, tantric medicine
a taste of your own medicine
honey, a little too much, exactly right
who's laugh?
Medicine, goofy medicine
country medicine
medicine, freaky medicine
a taste of your own medicine
Medicine, cellular medicine
planetary medicine
medicine, outlaw medicine
laughter is the best medicine

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
