Cure Lyrics

The man takes another bullet
He keeps them all within
He must seek no matter how it hurts
So don't fool again

He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man takes another bullet
Yeah, he's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms now, take 'em to and say
I do believe
Yeah, I do believe

Yeah, the lies tempt her and she follows
Again she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms now, take 'em to and say
I do believe
Oh yeah, I do believe, yeah yeah, oh

Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's gotta have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure

Betting on the cure
'Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Yeah, precious cure

I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe
I do believe, I do believe, I do believe

Betting on the cure
Yeah, it must get better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah, it's gotta get better than this, this, this
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
I do believe, I do believe, I do believe
