Here are the lyrics!

(There is a brief into song by "Searchers" called "Needles and Pins")

Verse 1

I heard somebody fixed today

There was no last goodbyes to say

His will to live ran out

I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left

A list of plans and photographs

Songs that never will be sung

These are the things he won't get done (the things he won't get done)

Chorus

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands

They fight a war but its fatal, it's so hard to understand

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

Verse 2

Just one shot to say goodbye

One last taste of morn and cry

Score and shoots, the lights go dim

Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders why

Why the monkey only lies

But pay the pauper he did choose

He hung his head inside the noose

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but its fatal, it's so hard to understand

I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand man

Cryptic Writings on the wall, the beginnig of the end

I've seen my self use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
