[Verse 1]
Some memories lay heavy down on my mind
Some days I've cared and some days I'd rather die
Sometimes I get so thirsty that I drink 'til I'm blind
And I gave up on tomorrow tonight

[Chorus]
And in my dreams there's a needle and a spoon
Oh, there's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, oh baby me and you
And you're sawin' on a fiddle and I'm wonderin' which to shoot
Everything's so complicated now I am comin' down

[Verse 2]
Oh I'm lookin' for a means to a new end
And all my friends are fallin' out or packin' in
Yesterday I prayed that the sun would shine for you
As I watched the sky fade to blue

[Chorus]
And in my dreams there's a needle and a spoon
Oh, there's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, oh baby me and you
And you're sawin' on a fiddle and I'm wonderin' which to shoot
Everything's so complicated now I am comin' down
Coming down, down, down, down, down, down

[Verse 3]
Money never meant much to me
It came and it went and it never changed a thing
'Cause the hunger in my belly it ain't quenched by fancy things
Oh, it's knowin' that I am free
[Chorus]
And in my dreams there's a needle and a spoon
Oh, there's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, oh baby me and you
And you're sawin' on a fiddle and I'm wonderin' which to shoot
Everything's so complicated now I am comin' down
