| Thirty days, lord and thirty nights
|
| IЂ™m cominЂ™ home on an airplane flight
|
| Mama waitinЂ™ at the ticket line
|
| Tell me son why do you stand there cryinЂ™
|
| (chorus)
|
| It was the needle and the spoon
|
| And a trip to the moon
|
| Took me away, took me away
|
| IЂ™ve been feelinЂ™ so sick and tired
|
| Got to get better, lord before I die
|
| Seven doctors couldnЂ™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
|
| IЂ™ve seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
|
| But then again, lord IЂ™ve seen a lot of fools
|
| Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say
|
| YouЂ™ll have your chance to hit it some day
|
| (chorus)
|
| DonЂ™t mess with the needle or a spoon
|
| Or any trip to the moon
|
| ItЂ™ll take you away
|
| Lord, their gonna bury you boy
|
| DonЂ™t mess with the needle
|
| Now I know, I know, I know… |
