Thirty days Lord, and thirty nights I'm comin' home on an airplane flight Mamma'll be waitin' at the ticket line Tell me son, why do you stand there and cry 'Cause the needle and the spoon, a trip to the moon Took me away, took me away I've been feelin' so sick inside Got to get better Lord, before I die Sudden darkness couldn't help my head they said You better quit son, before you're dead Put the needle, put the spoon, put the trip to the moon We're gonna take you away Lord gonna take you away There was a needle and a 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 and need it someday Don't mess with a needle or spoon Or any trip to the moon They'll take you away Lord, they're gonna bury you boy Don't mess with a needle, now I know I know
