| Cruisin round this hopeless town,
|
| Down the lovely streets of desire
|
| Youre my angel of mercy all dressed in white
|
| And Im a smokin gun for hire
|
| Takin a walk on the wild side
|
| Johnnys got a habit that he cant hide
|
| Livin life from high to high
|
| When nighttime comes, you can hear him cry
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
|
| Day is night and night is day
|
| Being alive just gets in the way
|
| The twisting snake inside his brain
|
| Whispers to him, time to kill the pain
|
| They told him opportunity was just around the corner
|
| Well, he wore out his shoes tryin to find that corner
|
| He might just pick himself up again
|
| Until it happens, until then
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
|
| Hes not a new tattoo dedicated to you
|
| As the ink and the blood mix with pain
|
| Its a man on a white horse goin nowhere
|
| And the man has no face or no name
|
| With the walls closin in, hes runnin for cover
|
| Hes spinnin way out of control
|
| He might just pick himself up again
|
| Until it happens, until then
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| Each drop of blood is a token of love
|
| Buzz buzz goes the needle
|
| And I want a sign from above |
