Placebo - King Of Medicine

They're picking up pieces of me

While they're picking up pieces of you

In a bag you will be before the day is over

While you're looking for somewhere to be

Or looking for someone to do

Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you

And on the back of my hand

Were directions I could understand

Now that old buzzer Johnny Walker

Has gone and ruined all our plans

Our best mate plans


Don't leave me here to pass through time

Without a map or road sign

Don't leave me here, my guiding light

'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin

I ask the kings of medicine


They're picking up pieces of me

While they're picking up pieces of you

Lying on ice you will be before the day is over

So case in point, baby

That you never thought it through

Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you

And on the tip of my tongue

Were words that always came out wrong

'Cause they were drowned in southern comfort

Left to dry out in the sun, the noon day sun


Don't leave me here to pass through time

Without a map or road sign

Don't leave me here, my guiding light

'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin

I ask the kings of medicine

But it seems they've lost their power

Now all I'm left with is the hour


Don't leave me here to pass through time

Without a map or road sign

Don't leave me here, my guiding light

'Cause I, I wouldn't know where to begin

I ask the kings of medicine

But it seems they've lost their power

Now all I'm left with is the hour


Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here, oh no

I wouldn't know where to begin
