[Intro]
(Ah)
(Ah)
[Verse 1]
There are no more tears to cry
I heard you beggin' for life
Runnin' out of medicine
You're worse than you've ever been
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ah) Screamin' for me, baby
(Ah-ah) Like you're gonna die
(Ah-ah) Poison on the inside
I could be your antidote tonight
(Ah-ah) Screamin' for me, baby
(Ah-ah) Like you're gonna die
(Ah-ah) Poison on the inside
I could be your antidote tonight
[Chorus]
I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner, I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back in ecstasy
I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (Cure)
Cure your disease
[Verse 2]
You're so tortured when you sleep
Plagued with all your memories
You reach out, and no one's there
Like a god without a prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ah) Screamin' for me, baby
(Ah-ah) Like you're gonna die
(Ah-ah) Poison on the inside
I could be your antidote tonight
(Ah-ah) Screamin' for me, baby
(Ah-ah) Like you're gonna die
(Ah-ah) Poison on the inside
I could be your antidote tonight
[Chorus]
I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner, I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back in ecstasy
I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (Cure)
Cure your disease
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah)
(Ah) Cure your disease
(Ah)
I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya
[Chorus]
Bring me your desire, I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner, I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back in ecstasy
I know all your secrets, I can cure ya, oh
Cure your disease
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah) Cure your disease

I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya
I can cure your disease
