Lyrics The Screaming Jets – Needle

I feel the pain in my head
I want that sleep that I’m missing
I’m falling all apart
Oh, the nightmare that I’m living

Held an old friend as he died
Oh, what a wasted life
So don’t you start
Don’t you start your pushin’
The needle to the red

Well I feel the life that I’m leadin’
Is bringing me down and I’m bleedin’
Been pushed aside to die
Skull and cross bones in my mind
I start to believe in my own lies
Oh, why did I start?

Held an old friend as he died
Oh, what a wasted life
So don’t you start
Don’t you start your pushin’
The needle to the red

I sit and wonder all the time
What it’d be like if I could change my mind?
Blood drips slowly from the sky
Falling down and cleansing my naked eye
Break down and cry!

Blood shot eyes in the mirror
Look at my hand it’s a-quiver
I’m a crumbled heap in the dark

Held an old friend as he died
Oh, what a wasted life
Don’t you start, don’t you start
Said don’t you start your pushin’
The needle to the red
The needle to the red, oh no don’t push, don’t push, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t push it!
Don’t push!
