Needle to the Bone

5. NEEDLE TO THE BONE
Don't race a bullet with a train on a track
You start ahead but end up down in the pack
You made a mess you know will never be clean
You're sleepin' easy but it's hardly a dream

Pain at the start
Numb when you fall
Gotta be lucky
Dying is an art
Living is a ball

And now you know the way to live through a heart attack Pay off the devil with no money back
And now you need it
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, now you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone

Go take your chances on a wire with a shock
Stand in the water with your head on a block
You got not memory no more of what you seen
You think it's easy, well it is for me

Drained at the start
Full when you fall
Gotta be lucky
Dying is a part of
Living through it all

Horse shoe stomp
Rabbit foot thump
Wishing on star
Must be lucky

Penny for the toss
Fingers gone cross
Clover leaf four
Gotta be lucky

Seven for the win
Get it all in
Live a little sin
Guess whose got that luck
