(Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton) I looked back once And aall I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream You'll never get away Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try To scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into waalls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall CHORUS Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever turst Don't ever trust the needle when it cries, cries your name Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure wit hthe blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------
