Needle Mythology

(Stephen Duffy)

She fired the spoon

And she looked around her tiny bedroom

And knew that she was doomed

Daisy shot up her savings

And traded on the glow.

Waited for it to go

Crazy.

Needle Mythology is a death trap for you girl

Why make your drug of choice your goodbye to the world

The astro strings like silken wings

Take you away from everything

You loved about the way you were

The baby doll with daisy hair

And nothing in your way.

You're just like Jesus

You die and rise again

Getting high and then scoring

A world betrayed by your hurry to the grave

You know you can't be saved

And I'm so sorry

Needle Mythology is a death trap for you girl

Why make your drug of choice your goodbye to the world

The astro strings like silken wings

Take you away from everything

You loved about the way you were

The baby doll with daisy hair

And nothing in your way.

You spread your dreams underneath my feet

For I once bought you sweets

And all the junk that you once did for fun

Has now unhappily been done

Now you can't run.

Needle Mythology is a death trap for you girl

Why make your drug of choice your goodbye to the world

The astro strings like silken wings

Take you away from everything

You loved about the way you were

The baby doll with daisy hair

And nothing in your way.
