THE NEEDLE AND THE SPOON song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

never knew
a man could get so low
never knew
until I had to go

somebody told me
but that doesn't make it so
you never know
until you have to know

I tried to pick him up
and carry him away
but he wouldn't leave
said this is where I'll stay

the damage has been done
there's no where left to run
and there's nothing left for you to save
anyway

once he was
so strong so brave so wise
but now become
something not recognized

how could he fall
so far so fast so soon
his life eclipsed
by the needle and the spoon

the needle and the spoon
the needle and the spoon
the whole world in one room
a life lived in a tomb
the needle and the spoon
the needle and the spoon
you can't save someone who's
determined to be doomed

you can only save
the ones who can be saved
you never know
which one's meant for the grave

and even if
he's just a kid
you have to try
or say you did

because without redemption
we're all slaves

why
why must you ask me why
why
why must you live a lie
I gotta die
either day or in the night
so there's no use
in even asking why

I walked away
had nothing left to say
and even tears
were useless anyway

there's nothing left
not even hope
not even your best guess
there's nothing left
not even fear of death

why
why must you ask me why
why
why must you live a lie
I gotta die
either day or in the night
so there's no use
in even asking why

the needle and the spoon
the needle and the spoon
the whole world in one room
a life lived in a tomb
the needle and the spoon
the needle and the spoon
you can't save someone who's
determined to be doomed

NEEDLE AND SPOON song lyrics 2nd version
by Joel Sattler

so low
so low
never knew
a man could get so

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon

someone
said so
don't know
have to

why why
must you
live a lie
why why
must you
gotta die

why why
must you
in the night
why why
must you
turn the light

why why
must you
tell me why
why why
must you
why oh why

why why
must you
live a lie
why why
must you
gotta die

once he was so strong
once he was so wise

you can
not save

and now he wants to die
but still you gotta try


why should
long for the grave

[instrumental]


god must
forbid
don't do
he did

down down
he slid
he's just
a kid

damage
been done
no where
to run

his world
stuck inside a room
life lived in a tomb

no light
only stink and gloom
on nothing but fumes

You gotta
you just gotta try
one chance left to save him

because
without some redemption
we’re nothing but slaves

needle
and spoon
needle
needle and spoon

needle
and spoon
needle
needle and spoon

I tried
away
he wanted
to stay

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon
needle and the

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon
needle and the

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon
needle and the

needle
and spoon
needle and the
needle and spoon

he had nothing left
was an empty shell
no more fear of death
not even fear of hell

nothing left to prove
