Oh well oh well so here we stand

But we stand for nothing

My heart calls to me in my sleep

Now can I turn to it

Cause I'm all locked up in this

Dark place -- and I do not know

I'm as good as dead

My head aches -- warped and tied up

I need to kill this pain



My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm dead and gone

My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm six feet underground



How long I'm tied up

My mind in knots -- My stomach reels

In concern for what I might do or

What I've done

It's got me living in fear

Well I know these voices must

Be my soul

I've had enough

I've had enough

Of being alone

I've got no place to go



My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm dead and gone

My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm six feet underground



"In my grave

Lying wired shut and quiet in my grave



Leave me here

Leave it to me to waste here"



So young here I am again

Talking to myself

A T.V. blares

Oh man oh how I wish I didn't smoke

Or drink to reason with my head

But sometimes this thick confusion

Grows until I cannot bear it at all

Needle to the vein

Needle to the vein

Take this needle from my vein my friend



My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm dead and gone

My head won't leave my head alone

And I don't believe it will

'Til I'm six feet underground



"In my grave

Lying wired shut and quiet in my grave



Leave me here

Leave it to me to waste here"



Reason -- my reason

Take my head off this terror

I'm fearing I'll come back

I'll see

My mind's all wiped clean

The Needle

Make my great escape

I'll see the cold in time

My head leaves me behind

Let me fade away



I seem caught in time

My head leaves me behind

Body falls cold

And I see Heaven
