When the spoon is hot

And the needle's sharp

An' you drift away

Ooh I can hear you say

That the world in black

Is upon your back

And your body shakes

So you ditch away

Yeah

And you close shades

Don't try to do it

Don't try to kill your time oh

Yeah you might do it

Then you can't change your mind oh

You've gotta hold on to your time

'Til you break

Through these

Times of

Trouble

When you try to talk

And the words get hard

And they put you down

Don't you stay

Hmmmm

Don't ditch away

I saw ya' swingin'

Yeah swingin' your

Mother's sword

Oh

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I know you're playin'

Oh

Sometimes the rules get hard

Oh

But if somebody left you

Out on a ledge

If somebody pushed you

Over the edge

You've gotta hold on to your time

And break

Through these times of

Trouble

I saw ya' swingin'

Yeah

Swingin' your mother's sword

Oooooooh

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I know you're playin'

Oh

Sometimes the rules get hard

Oh

But if somebody left you

Out on the ledge

If somebody pushed you

Over the edge

If somebody loved you

And left you for dead

You've gotta hold on to your

Time and break

Through these times of

Trouble
