medicinals (demo) - pj harvey lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was walking through the national mall
thinking about medicinals
how they used to grow there
when the ground was a marshland
undisturbed by human hands
and i heard their voices

[chorus]
the sumac said “we are always here”
the witch hazel * “we are always here”
the sassafras * “we are always here”
the bluestem grasses * “always here”

[verse 2]
i looked about, what did i see?
medicinals growing round’ me
rising from the gravel
sumac and the witch hazel
come to soothe our pain, our sores
come to soothe our troubles
[chorus]
the sumac said “we are always here”
the witch hazel * “we are always here”
the sassafras * “we are always here”
the bluestem grasses * “always here”

[outro]
but do you see that woman
sitting in the wheelchair?
with her redskins cap on backwards
what’s that she’s singing?
as from inside a paper wrapper
she sips from a bottle
a new paink!ller
for the native people
