The Needle and the Spoon

[Verse 1]

Thirty days, Lord and thirty nights

I'm coming home on an airplane flight

Mama waiting at the ticket line

Tell me son why do you stand there crying

[Chorus]

It was the needle and the spoon

And a trip to the moon

Took me away, took me away

[Verse 2]

I've been feeling so sick inside

Got to get better, lord before I die

Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said

You better quit, son before you're dead

[Chorus]

Quit the needle, quit the spoon

Quit the trip to the moon

We're going to take you away

Lord, we going to take you away

It was the needle and the spoon

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool

But then again, Lord I've seen a lot of fools

Well, I hope you people, Lord can hear what I say

You'll have your chance to hit it some day

[Chorus]

Don't mess with the needle or a spoon

Or any trip to the moon

It'll take you away

[Outro]

Lord, they gonna bury you boy

Don't mess with the needle

Now I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
