The Needle And The Spoon

Thirty days, lord and thirty nights 

I'm comin' home on an airplane flight 

Mama waitin' at the ticket line 

Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'



[chorus]

It was the needle and the spoon 

And a trip to the moon 

Took me away, took me away



I've been feelin' so sick and tired 

Got to get better, lord before I die 

Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said 

You better quit, son before your dead



[chorus]

Quit the needle. Quit the spoon 

Quit the trip to the moon 

We gonna take you away. Lord, we gonna take you away 



[spoken]

It was the needle and the spoon 



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



Lord, their gonna bury you boy 

Don't mess with the needle 

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