[Verse 1]
What's wrong with you?
I wish I knew
You say time will tell
I hope that's true
There's more to life than blues and reds
I say, I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

[Chorus]
Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

[Verse 2]
Now don't give up
Whatever you do
You say time will tell
I hope that's true
If you go down and lose your head
I say, I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

[Chorus]
Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

[Chorus]
I said, dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar
Take it!

[Verse 3]
What can I do?
I can't let go
You say time will heal
But very slow
So don't forget the things you said
I say I know how you feel
Now your friends are dead

[Chorus]
Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

[Chorus]
Dead on your feet, you won't get far
If you keep on sticking your hand
In the medicine jar

[Outro]
Medicine jar
The medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar
Medicine jar

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
