Solstice Poultice Lyrics

The shaman woke up feeling kind of dreary

Mus be the ramen last night that left him queasy

It's an uncommon occurrence so it's pretty eerie

Vexing that its confusing when hexing comes easy

So he put together a concoction for revisiting dreams

Using rocks n leaves for depictions of the scenes

Shook off the stupor but didn't find imagery

He illustrated more of a recipe than a prophecy

But honestly the instructions made no sense

Involving materials n methods with which he had no experience

Hence, his visit to the voodoo elder for wisdom

Told him the ingredients but the elder said he ain't heard of them

So into ancient tomes he had to delve deep

On occasion finding a mention in the book heap

The requirements to create it were steep

Collect n combine in a single day for the amalgam to keep

Focus, what you see ain't hocus pocus

You'd need voodoo to concoct the solstice poultice

Applied to shoulders can help repel locusts

Whatever you do don't compare it to a jokers bogus

Focus, what you see ain't hocus pocus

You'd need voodoo to concoct the solstice poultice

Applied to shoulders can help repel locusts

Whatever you do don't compare it to a jokers bogus

Normally this'd be impossible for a simple human

But ain't nun normal bout a totem using shaman

To gather these items you got to be in five places at once

Luckily this witch doctor ain't no dunce

You need a quarter hogshead o Appalachian Mountain mud

To get to it you might have to have a stud

Then extract nine gills o New England Aster oil

A simple tincture to help maintain the mortal coil

Afterward collect seven sacks of Blazing Star

Grind them down to a powder or you wont get far

Gather about four bushels of Leadplant

Crush them without the stems till you start to pant

Finally you want half a vat of swamp milkweed

Mix these with the sun still up and you'll have completed the deed

This'll heal burns of any degree within a fortnight

If you've been fatally wounded you could live to see anotha fight

Focus, what you see ain't hocus pocus

You'd need voodoo to concoct the solstice poultice

Applied to shoulders can help repel locusts

Whatever you do don't compare it to a jokers bogus

Focus, what you see ain't hocus pocus

You'd need voodoo to concoct the solstice poultice

Applied to shoulders can help repel locusts

Whatever you do don't compare it to a jokers bogus
