Peter Collins - The Needle Lies lyrics

[Intro, spoken] [Nikki] I've had enough, and I want out! [Metal box thrown off table, hits floor] [Dr. X] You can't walk away now. [Laughs] [Instrumentation begins, Verse 1] I looked back once And all I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room with mirrors Afraid, I heard him scream 'You'll never get away' [Verse 2] Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try And scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into walls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall [Chorus] Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure with the blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm [Extended Chorus]
