Lyrics[]
I saw her today, I saw her face Was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray-ay That they'd go away But still, they begin... Needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins... I heard somebody fixed today There was no last goodbyes to say His will to live ran out I heard somebody turned to dust Looking back at what he left A list of plans and photographs Songs that never will be sung These are the things he won't get done The things he won't get done... I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man Just one shot to say goodbye One last taste to mourn and cry Scores and shoots, the lights go dim Just one shot to do him in He hangs his head and wonders why Why the monkey only lies, lies, lies... But pay the pauper, he did choose He hung his head inside the noose He hung his head inside the noose, oh... I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man Cryptic writings on the wall, the beginning of the end I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand In my hand, in my hand, in my hand...
