Lyrics
When the spoon is hot
And the needle's sharp
And you drift away, oh
I can hear you say
That the world in black
Is upon your back
And your body shakes
So you ditch away
Yeah, and you close the shades
Don't try to do it
Don't try to kill your time, oh
Yeah, you might do it
Then you can't change your mind, oh
You've got to hold onto 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, hmm
Don't ditch away
I saw you swinging
Yeah, swinging your mother's sword, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playing, oh
Sometimes the rules get hard, oh
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
You've got to hold on to your time and break
Through these times of
Trouble
I saw you swinging
Yeah, swinging your mother's sword, ooh-ooh
And yeah-yeah- yeah, I know you're playing, oh
But sometimes the rules get hard, oh
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 'til you break
Through these times of
Trouble
