[Verse 1] Thirty days, Lord and thirty nights I'm coming home on an airplane flight Mama waiting at the ticket line Tell me son why do you stand there crying [Chorus] It was the needle and the spoon And a trip to the moon Took me away, took me away [Verse 2] I've been feeling so sick inside Got to get better, lord before I die Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said You better quit, son before you're dead [Chorus] Quit the needle. quit the spoon Quit the trip to the moon We're going to take you away. Lord, we going to take you away It was the needle and the spoon [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] 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 to hit it some day [Chorus] Don't mess with the needle or a spoon Or any trip to the moon It'll take you away [Outro] Lord, they gonna bury you boy Don't mess with the needle Now I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
