LYRICS

Thirty days, lord and thirty nights

I'm comin' home on an airplane flight

Mama waitin' at the ticket line

Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'

It was the needle and the spoon

And a trip to the moon

Took me away, took me away

I've been feelin' so sick and tired

Got to get better, lord before I die

Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said

You better quit, son before your dead

Quit the needle. Quit the spoon

Quit the trip to the moon

We gonna take you away. Lord, we gonna take you away

It was the needle and the spoon

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool

But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools

Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say

You'll have your chance to hit it some day

Don't mess with the needle or a spoon

Or any trip to the moon

It'll take you away

Lord, their gonna bury you boy

Don't mess with the needle

Now I know, I know, I know...(fade)
