Medicine Man

[Verse 1] Roll up my friends and gather round The Medicine Man is back in town Mirrors and smoke and trickery Your very own real life make believe [Pre-Chorus 1] Bring your money and get in line Two for a nickel, three for a dime Miracle cures for aching bones But he takes your gold, sells you stone [Chorus] The devil rides in a horse and cart The purveyor of the darkest art I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire Took the bait, shame on me I was taken for a ride by a barefaced liar [Verse 2] Admission is free but he robs you blind A little taste to ease a troubled mind A glimpse of truth beyond the veil Oh a fallen angel’s holy grail [Pre-Chorus 2] He disappeared before sunrise Before I saw through his disguise Stole my soul, off he ran I was played for a fool by a Medicine Man [Chorus] The devil rides in a horse and cart The purveyor of the darkest art I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire Took the bait, shame on me I was taken for a ride Taken for a ride [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] He disappeared before sunrise Before I saw through his disguise Stole my soul, off he ran I was played for a fool by a Medicine Man [Chorus] The devil rides in a horse and cart The purveyor of the darkest art I was bit by a snake, burnt by the fire Took the bait, shame on me I was taken for a ride [Outro] Taken for a ride By a barefaced liar Oh taken yeah Oh I was taken for a ride
