Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What you gonna do?
Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn
You know there's no return
[Verse 2]
Take your routine rules
You join the other fools
Turn to something new
Now it's killing you
[Verse 3]
First, it was the bomb
Vietnam, napalm
Disillusioning
You push the needle in
[Verse 4]
From life, you escape
Reality's black drape
Colours in your mind
Satisfy your time
[Verse 5]
Oh, you, you know you must be blind
To do such things like this
To take the sweet that you don't know
You're giving death a kiss
Poor little fool now
[Verse 6]
Your mind is full of pleasure
Your body's looking ill
To you, it's shallow leisure
So drop the acid pill
Don't stop to think now
[Verse 7]
You're having a good time, baby
But that won't last
Your mind's all full of things
You're living too fast
Go out, enjoy yourself
Don't bottle it in
You need someone to help you
Take the needle in, yeah
[Verse 8]
Now you know the scene
Your skin starts turning green
Your eyes, no longer seeing
Life's reality
[Verse 9]
Push the needle in
Face death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin
Caused by deadly pin
[Verse 10]
Head starts spinning 'round
You fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave
Death's hand starts to weave
[Verse 11]
It's too late to turn
You don't want to learn
Price of life, you hide
Now you're gonna die
