Medicine Songtext
von Alexa Melo

Inhaling thick sultry breath
The storm exhaled into my mouth
It was a humid summer night again
And the power had just gone out
Climbing up your forested front porch steps
I still pray to be teleported back
To inside the erotic ruble of that distant thunder clap
When you answered the door backlit by candle light
With neon smile lines
The stove top clock flashed "midnight"
But it was only a quarter past nine
I used to ration my attraction to you
But my resolve was beginning to wear
Perhaps that night it was the lightning
Crackling static into our skin and hair

In a world so sick
We were making medicine
In a world so sick
We were making medicine


And the air was so warm and still
I forgot I was burdened by a body at all
No distance between me and the atmosphere
Especially when I took my clothes off
You carried me across the yard, through the rain to the shed
When you told me you were afraid
′Cause you were falling in a shepherds tone
And I said, "Hey, that's the price we pay for a..."

World so sick
And we were making medicine
In a world so sick
We were making medicine

We fell asleep in the sweltering heat
And awoke to evacuation warnings
The lighting struck 22 wildfires unbeknownst to us
Early that morning
So we packed up your truck and we drove through the smoke
Under ominous, orange skies
And even though we left it all behind to burn
I knew we′d be alright
