Temporary Remedy
Written by
Ben Harper
Original Artist
Ben Harper
i killed a snake with a bible
i was living a johnny cash song
i'm afraid for this i may be liable
so it's best i be moving along
just a temporary remedy
running through my veins
summer lasted through november
funny when it's gone you miss the cold
words spoken for a lifetime
we can never hear 'till we're told
just a temporary remedy
running through my veins
they tell me nothing is perfect
then tell me why is it a word
yesterday's news is tomorrow's blues
now they're perfectly blurred
just a temporary remedy
running through my veins
