lyrics

These days I go outside looking for the same thing
That I haven’t found in months
The slow abiding peace beside my mind
Telling me what’s done is done

Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
’Til we find a better way to win,
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
Got to find a better way to get in

Nothing for it, gonna fill that hole
With anything I find
What doesn’t kill me, well, I put aside
’Til I find something that will

Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
’Til we find a better way to win,
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
Got to find a better way to get in
Dead man, won’t you hang it off your ladder
When the light is fading, falling so thin,
Dead man, won’t you carry me to heaven,
I’ve so far to fall and yet to begin

This pretty little drug is a heavy load
Never was strong enough to leave this place alone
This pretty little drug is a heavy load
Wish I could lay it down

Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
’Til we find a better way to win
(Never was strong enough to leave this place alone)
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
(This pretty little is a heavy load)
Got to find a better way to get in
(Wish I could lay it down)
Dead man won’t you hang it off your ladder
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
When the light is fading, falling so thin
(Never was strong enough to leave this place alone)
Dead man, won’t you carry me to heaven
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
I’ve so far to fall and yet to begin
(Wish I could lay it down)

Medicine Ship Little Rock, Arkansas

Medicine Ship is Nicholas Presley and Barton Willis. The songs that now appear before your eyes are all the aural equivalent of a local small batch whiskey—rich, layered, scrappy, and without the deadening, uniform gloss of the production line. They come at you straight from our hands and minds neat, no chaser.

It's good for you, too. ... more
