Needles & Silver Spoons

(Verse 1)
My Dad told my brother, "Son don't you play with no needle & spoon.
It'll ruin your life boy, don't go playing those messed up tunes"
Looking back, I wish he'd taken my old man's advice.
And left it alone and ran for his life.

(Chorus)
He should have run when they told him to run.
He shouldn've jumped while he still had the time.
He shouldn't of stayed around, should've left the town.
And never looked back on it all.
. . . On Those Needles & Silver Spoons.

(Verse 2)
In his heart, it began, with a secret & a friend.
The chance of losing & it didn't mean a thing.
But the heat it burned & the room it spun.
He had the cloud in his eyes & a love that ruined the young.

(Verse 3)
And where is the moment when a boy becomes a man.
Through those trials of passage to find some promised stand.
But the vultures are coming and his heart is beating too fast.
Searching & searching, while the Grail slips into the past.

(Chorus Repeat)

(Verse 4)
Then those long, lonely nights & shutting the door on the world.
He was lost on believing that no one else had heard. His family and friends, were left by the edge of his grave.
Cause no love, no life, is found where the needle lays.

(Chorus)
