The needle
Many times I've seen it happen I never dreamed I'd live to see The time htat I would pray to die so my soul would set me free You see I have the habit to the needle I'm a slave From the bottle to the needle from the needle to the grave Just a crazy youngster I was looking for my fun That night I met the pusher is when the misery begun When he offered me the needle and the stuff that I now crave From the bottle to the needle from the needle to the grave Time passes so slowly as it passes I get worse And as time goes by again I'll try my best to chase the curse But it seems I have no power against the needle that I crave From the bottle to the needle from the needle to the grave Many times you've seen us on the streets down in the slum These men who've lost the way of life and every feeling grown numb But in our shame we are all the same to the needle we are slaves From the bottle to needle from the needle to the grave
