Aimee Mann

Medicine Wheel

The day you left and you called me bitch
I called you selfish - Better pull that switch
Put my son on amphetamines
He came home cryin' and there's your proof
Crying ‘bout nothing but missing tooth
I did the right thing
You shade the truth almost every day
Phone calls at night, “It's gonna be OK”
Are you signing, baby,
Under the bridge?
Are you signing, baby,
On Lake Street?
Black marker on cardboard
Little drawing of a medicine wheel
Well, everything that's given you steal
Everything that's given, you steal
Maybe you'll wake up in jail alone
And hold the handle of the one pay phone
And do the right thing
Like I once tried though I bent the truth
A five dollar debt for a little lost tooth
There's a payback in front of me
‘Cause once you were like a walking heart,
Breaking in motion through the parking lot
(CHORUS)
(SOLO – use the same progression as the verse)
Words of encouragement are just as real
Same effect as a smooth blue pill
(CHORUS)
Everything that's given you steal
Everything that's given you steal
From me.
