Needle Mythology - Stephen Duffy

She fired the spoon

And she looked around her tiny bedroom

And knew that she was doomed

Daisy shot up her savings

And traded on the glow

And waited for it to go crazy

Needle mythology

Is a death trap for you, girl

Why make your drug of choice

Your goodbye to the world?

The astro strings like silken wings

Take you away from everything

You loved about the way you were

The baby doll with daisy hair

And nothing in your way

You’re just like Jesus

You die and rise again

Getting high and then scoring

A world betrayed by your hurry to the grave

You know you can’t be saved

And I’m so sorry

You spread your dreams underneath my feet

For I once bought you sweets

And all the junk that you once did for fun

Has now unhappily been done

Now you can’t run
