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.
