When the spoon is hot
And the needle's sharp
And you drift away...uuu
I can hear you say
That the world in black
Is upon your back...
And your body shakes
So you ditch away
And you close the shades
Don't try to do it
Don't try to kill your time, ooo
You might do it
Then you can't change your mind, ooo
You've got a hold on to your time
'Til your break through these
Times of trouble
When you try to talk
And the words get hard
And they put you down
Don't you stay, hmmmm
Don't you ditch away
I saw you swinging
Swinging your mother's sword, oooo
I know you're playing but
Sometimes the rules get hard
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
If somebody loved you and left you for dead
You got to hold on to your time 'till you break
Through these times of trouble
I saw you swinging
Swinging your mother's sword, oooo
I know you're playing but
Sometimes the rules get hard
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
If somebody loved you and left you for dead
You got to hold on to your time 'till you break
Through these times of trouble
And the needle's sharp
And you drift away...uuu
I can hear you say
That the world in black
Is upon your back...
And your body shakes
So you ditch away
And you close the shades
Don't try to do it
