Song Needle Of Death
Artist Yo La Tengo
Album Today Is the Day

Lyrics

[00:15.39] When sadness fills your heart
[00:19.81] And sorrow hides the longing to be free
[00:25.75] When things go wrong each day
[00:30.34] You fix your mind to escape your misery
[00:35.25] Your troubled young life
[00:37.93] Had made you turn
[00:41.74] To a needle of death
[00:50.19] How strange, your happy words
[00:54.93] Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
[01:00.55] How tears have filled the eyes
[01:05.11] Of friends that you once had walked among
[01:10.40] Your troubled young life
[01:12.98] Had made you turn
[01:16.72] To a needle of death
[01:25.37] One grain of pure white snow
[01:31.39] Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
[01:37.02] In peace your mind withdraws
[01:41.63] Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
[01:46.90] Your troubled young life
[01:49.36] Had made you turn
[01:53.10] To a needle of death
[02:01.56] Your mother stands a'cryin'
[02:05.97] While to the earth your body's slowly cast
[02:11.80] Your father stands in silence
[02:16.34] Caressing every young dream of the past
[02:21.31] Your troubled young life
[02:24.01] Had made you turn
[02:27.69] To a needle of death
[02:37.43] Through ages, man's desires
[02:42.09] To free his mind, to release his very soul
[02:47.74] Has proved to all who live
[02:52.17] That death itself is freedom for evermore
[02:57.42] Your troubled young life
[03:00.00] Will make you turn
[03:03.87] To a needle of death
