she called the paper to inform them that the mayor wasn't doing very fine
a bit too much sherry but it's very ordinary he does this all the time
last time he pulled this he was knee deep in the lake
with a car phone and a hooker who was somewhat overweight
and his wife was not amused

bring me medicine, bring me wine
bring me anything that makes the good life so divine
i'm thomas edison, i can lead the blind
bring me medicine, and bring me wine

so goes the story in a motel with a whore he finally reached his end
the death-defying thomas wound up choking on his vomit in between her legs
last time seen alive he was halfway up her dress
with a pair of plastic handcuffs from the cardiac arrest
the press was so amused

bring me medicine, bring me wine
bring my anything that makes the good life so divine
i'm thomas edison, i can lead the blind
bring me medicine, and bring me wine

we learn our lessons in the finest private schools
we learn how to cheat on taxes, how to smudge the golden rule
how to live and die like fools

bring me medicine, bring me wine
bring me anything that makes the good life so so fine
i will be president one day, i will lead the blind
with my medicine, and with my wine

bring me some medicine and some wine
bring me anything that makes the good life so divine
i'm thomas edison, i can lead the blind
i've got medicine, and i got my wine

bring me credit cards and diamond rings and any food deemed fattening
and bring me wine
a little medicine and wine
