  • When the sun goes down and the full moon shines
    And all the stars paint pictures 'cross the summer sky

    As the clock sweats midnight hits the carnival ground
    Like a black cat she walks in without a sound and says

    I'll pay you, handsome, if you read my mind
    I can't afford a king's ransom but I'll make it worth your while

    Say you believe and I'll do what I can
    I am the medicine man
    I see the future in the palm of your hand
    I am the medicine man

    When the spirits tell me that the time is right
    I will read your cards and they will read your life

    I draw a hangman, and a joker, and a blushing queen
    I know that one is you, but which one is me

    Baby I'm the thunder
    In the pouring rain
    I'm the spell you're under
    Don't forget my name

    Say you believe and I'll do what I can
    I am the medicine man
    I see the future in the palm of my hand
    I am the medicine man

    Before I wake you from your spell
    I'll kiss you once and wish you well
    From now until the end of time
    You will be
    You will be
    You will be mine

    Say you believe and I'll do what I can
    I am the medicine man
    I see the future in the palm of my hand
    I am the medicine man

    Say you believe and I'll do what I can
    I am the medicine man
    I see the future in the palm of my hand
    I am the medicine
    I am the medicine
    I am your medicine
    I am your medicine man Writer/s: Aldo Nova, Jon Bon Jovi
