Temple of The Dog - Times Of Trouble lyrics

Lyrics - Cornell

-------------------

When the spoon is hot

And the needle's sharp

And you drift away

I can hear you say

That the world in black

Is upon your back

And your body shakes

So you ditch away

And you close the shades

Don't try to do it

Don't try to kill your time

You might do it

Then you can't change your mind

You've got a hold on to your time

Till your break through these

Times of trouble

When you try to talk

And the words get hard

And they put you down

Don't you stay

Don't you ditch away

I saw you swinging

Swinging your mother's sword

I know you're playing but

Sometimes the rules get hard

But if somebody left you out on a ledge

If somebody pushed you over the edge

If somebody loved you and left you for dead

You got to hold on to your time till you break

Through these times of trouble
