When the spoon is hot And the needles 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 awayAnd you close the shades
Dont try to do it Dont try to kill your time
You might do it Then you cant change your mind
Youve 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 Dont you stay Dont you ditch away
I saw you swinging Swinging your mothers sword
I know youre 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
