[Commander8]

He who lives by the needle, dies by the needle.

[Tennessee_Bob]

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

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