Pushing the Needle Too Far
well i woke up this morning
grey dawn
with a prayer on my breath
you see i lost something precious
and god'll save me
from losing myself
i said i think i know what's wrong
i think i know what's wrong
now i met the queen and i understand why
why she closed the door
i'm not making excuses
but you know i've been there a few times
you know i was
i was knocking on the door
i said i think i know what's wrong
i think i know what's wrong
wrong wrong
see there's a man
he lived in a house
had a family of five
well he blew up the windows and the doors
he said "i just couldn't
i just couldn't survive"
yeah well we've all been removed
in one way or another
we don't know our families
we don't need our brothers
we're pushing the needle too far
pushing the needle too far
well if you wake up in the morning
grey dawn
there's a prayer on your breath
see maybe you've lost something precious
god'll save you
from losing yourself
you say i think i know what's wrong
let me hear you
i think i know what's wrong
there's the queen who closed the door
the family that lies
the people who turn
the cat that has died
a boy that od's
a girl with a gun
the world on its knees
and a band on the run
you know you'd help me more
(the queen who closed the door)
by not giving in
(the family that lies)
you know you'd help me more
(people who turn)
by not giving in
(and the cat that has died)
you know you'd help me more
(a boy that od's)
by not giving in
(and a girl with a gun)
i said you'd help me more
(the world on it's knees)
now don't you give in
(and a band on the run)
ah now you'd help me more
by not giving
i said don't you dare
(not giving in no)
don't you dare
(not giving in no)
don't you dare
(she said)
you'd help me more
(she said she wouldn't give in)
by not giving in
i said you'd help me more
by not giving in
i said i
i think i know what's wrong
i think i know what's wrong
we're pushing the needle too far
grey dawn
with a prayer on my breath
you see i lost something precious
and god'll save me
from losing myself
i said i think i know what's wrong
i think i know what's wrong
now i met the queen and i understand why
why she closed the door
i'm not making excuses
