Lyrics

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
And all the life that it's givin'
Oh, I need that 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
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
Lovin' spoonful on the table, I take it quicker than I am able, able to

Make that start
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
