I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

Interesting lyrics coming from someone who wore "Roll/Hemp" T shirts during the Dole/Kemp campaign.

But WTH, if we had to identify with the lyrics of every rock tune we listened to, we'd have to be all kinds of crazy.

Nowadays (that's a pre "gen X" colloquialism for the kiddies trolling here) we'd have to be both crazy AND satanic, so I'll be satisfied with just being crazy....after allllllll these years.....still crazy, after all these years :~)

Brought to mind another good song - "Don't Let The Needle Win".....Little River Band or South Side Johny and the Asbury Jukes?.....LRB I think.

Neil always wrote better when wrote about things he really understood unlike Ohio and Southern Man.

But every junkie's like a settin' sun...

Wow. Never been a fan of Young, but truer words were never sung.

Guitarist Danny Whitten was fired from Crazy Horse when his drug addiction became unmanageable. Neil Young cut him a severance check to keep him on his feet. Whitten cashed the check and spent the money on what would be a fatal dose of heroin.
