Times of Trouble

When the spoon is hot

And the needle's sharp

And you drift away

Ooh, I can hear you say

That the world in black

Is upon your back

And your body shakes

So ditch away

Yeah, and you close the 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

Till 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

Hmm, don't ditch away

I saw you swingin'

Yeah, swingin' your mother's sword, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playin'

Oh, sometimes the road get hard, oh

But if somebody left you out on a ledge

If somebody pushed you over the edge

You gotta hold on to your time and break

Through these times of trouble

I saw you swingin'

Yeah, swingin' your mother's sword, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playin'

Oh, sometimes the road get hard, oh

But if somebody left you out on a ledge

If somebody pushed you over the edge

If somebody loved you and left you for dead

You gotta hold on to your time and break

Through these times of trouble
