[Originally appeared on the album CRYPTIC WRITINGS]

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 thinge he won't get done

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
The fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to
understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle
use the man

Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores 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 that man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin
on their hands
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to
understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle
in his hand
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the
end
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in
my hand
