Indigo Girls
Pushing the Needle Too Far (Live)
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning, grey dawn
With a prayer on my breath
I lost something precious
God'll save me from losing myself
I think I know what's wrong
I think I know what's wrong
[Verse 2]
Now, I met the queen and I understand why
She closed the door
I'm not making excuses, I been there a few times
And I was, I was knocking on the door
I think I know what's wrong
I think I know what's wrong, wrong, wrong
[Bridge]
See, there's a man, he lived in a house
Had a family of five
Well, he blew up the windows and the doors
He said, "I just couldn't, couldn't survive"
Well, we've all been removed one way or another
We don't know our families, we don't need our brothers
Pushing the needle too far
Pushing the needle too far
[Verse 3]
Well, if you wake up in the morning, grey dawn
And there's a prayer on your breath
Maybe you've lost something precious
Your God'll save you, but don't lose yourself
I think I know what's wrong
I think I know what's wrong
[Outro]
There's the queen that closed the door, a family that lies
People who turn, a cat that has died
A boy that ODs, a girl with a gun
The world on its knees and the band on the run
You know, you help me more by not giving in (Queen who closed the door, the family that lies)
You know, you help me more by not giving in (People who turn and the cat that has died)
You know, you help me more by not giving in (A boy that ODs and a girl with a gun)
I said you help me more by not giving in (The world on its knees and a band on the run)
Oh, you help me more, oh (Your feet, your hands, your mind)
By not giving in, no, oh, by not giving in, no (Your mouth, your stomach, your heart, your faith)
She said, she said, do you wanna give in? (Your hands, your body, your body, your body, your body)
You help me more by not giving in
I said I, I think I know what's wrong
I think I know what's wrong
Pushing the needle too far
