Medicine

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)



Living in love with loving the living
Give the gift of Giving the gifts you’ve been given

I’m medicated... It's complicated
I’m doing what they saying is the right thing to do
But I don’t know if it’s the same as it is for me as you
And its draining
And entertaining
 
Don’t forget to take your medicine
 
We’re celebrating...Self medicating
My prescription from the doctor is love
Its addictive and I can’t get enough
Of that stuff that I’ve tasted
And I’m wasted
 
Don’t forget to take your medicine
 
I’m educated and concentrated
Music is the language of love
And I’m learning how to sing because
It never faded
Feels like we made it
