I caught you knockin' at my cellar door

I love you, baby, can I have some more?

Oh, the damage done



I hit the city and I lost my band

I watched the needle take another man

Gone, gone, the damage done



I sing the song because I love the man

I know that some of you don't understand

Milk-blood to keep from running out



I've seen the needle and the damage done

A little part of it in everyone

But every junkie's like a settin' sun



The damage done
