Float into the flame like a river boat gypsy
Gather 'round the river 'cause I'm gonna set you all free
Do what I'll say and you'll have all the power
Make the suckers dance and charge 'em by the hour
Stoppin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
ย
You were the queen of a second horse town
All of his buddies can't be rodeo clowns
Line 'em with sugar 'til the river runs bone dry
Servin' up the fantasies, unlimited supply
Stoppin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
ย
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
ย
I know you've been bruised by losers, lovers, liars
Set the tables long, baby, labor lives no longer
Spend all your life and you'll wish it were flowers
Your camera's full of petals, can't back up those hours
Stoppin' the clocks when you do that thing
So you're gonna shake for the Mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna sing
