Medecine Lyrics

(VERSE)
She's a car broken down out on the highway
She's a good little girl but her daddy don't know
I said my bed is just a moment away
She stops herself, she solds herself, and she shakes her head
She says, "I'm all alone in this town.
I'm gonna buy myself some brand new things. I'm gonna get myself together.
I'm gonna break myself and take myself to some other time."
A brand new dress, some brand new shoes, a brand new cup for tea
Don't burn yourself, don't hurt yourself, don't fall down on your face
I made my bed, I'm gonna sleep in it
But I'm gonna get myself some clean new sheets

(CHORUS)
Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

(VERSE)
Water well, washing well, come wash me away
I think I hurt myself or cut myself on some other day
She says, "Don't think it's no good for it all
Some days it's good, some days it's bad
Most days you can't wash it off."

(CHORUS)
Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

another great band broken up....any true indie rock fan should mourn. orbit knew how to make music, and it's unfortunate so few recognized it. if you miss these guys, support lunch records.
