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
