The Needle and the Damage Done (Austin City Limits Studio, Austin, Texas 25th September 1984) Songtext
von Neil Young

I caught you knockin′ at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Ooh, ooh, the damage done


I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out

I′ve seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun
