Big Country - Medicine Show lyrics

Your rating:

There's a trailer park

On the edge of the swamp

The air is cold

And the bedclothes damp



There's not much chance

Of cutting loose

When you're tied and tied

To your excuse



How can you dream

When you cannot sleep

The walls are thin

And your clothes are cheap



And you better get some rest

You've got two dead-end jobs to keep



Throw away your dreams my dear

The world we knew has disappeared

Kiss the kids before they go

Send them off to join a travelling show

Send them to the old-time medicine show



If your baby cries tonight

Will you make it sleep outside

You learn to lie before he reads

Family don't bring guarantees



Out here we dream of better things

We let our wildest dreams have wings


When you don't have far to fall

Dreams are better than them all



Throw away your dreams my dear

The world we knew has disappeared

Kiss the kids before they go

Send them off to join a travelling show

Send them to the medicine show



It's getting dark

We better get down on our knees



There's a trailer park

On the edge of the swamp

The air is cold

And the bedclothes damp



How can you dream

When you cannot sleep

The walls are thin

And your clothes are cheap



Throw away your dreams my dear

The world we knew has disappeared

Kiss the kids before they go

Send them off to join a travelling show

Send them to the old-time medicine show
