I feel the pain in my head,
|
I want that sleep that I'm missing,
|
I'm falling all apart,
|
Oh, the nightmare that I'm living
|
and all the life that it's givin',
|
oh, I need that start...
|
Held an old friend as he died,
|
oh what a wasted life,
|
so don't you start,
|
don't you start your pushin'
|
the needle to the red.
|
Well I feel the life that I'm leadin',
|
is bringing me down and I'm bleedin,'
|
been pushed aside to die.
|
Skull and cross bones in my mind,
|
I start to believe in my own lies.
|
Oh, why did I start?
|
Held an old friend as he died,
|
oh what a wasted life.
|
So don't you start,
|
don't you start your pushin'
|
the needle to the red.
|
I sit and wonder all the time, what it'd be like if I could change my
|
|
mind?
|
Blood drips slowly from the sky, falling down and cleansing my naked eye.
|
Break down and cry.
|
Blood shot eyes in the mirror, look at my hand it's a-quiver.
|
I'm a crumbled heap in the dark.
|
Lovin' spoonful on the table, I take it quicker than I am able, able to
|
|
make that start.
|
Held an old friend as he died, oh what a wasted life.
|
Don't you start, don't you start, said don't you start your pushin' the
|
|
needle to the red.
|
The needle to the red, oh no don't push, don't push, don't, don't, don't,
|
|
don't push it.
|
Don't push.
