Temporary Remedy

Ben Harper · Diamonds On The Inside [2003]

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
