Henry Kaiser, David Lindley - The Needle and the Damage Done Tonight’s the Night lyrics
[Henry Kaiser, David Lindley - The Needle and the Damage Done Tonight’s the Night lyrics]
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Oh, oh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song, because I love the man
I know that some of you don’t understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin’ sun
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eyes
But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up his guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight’s the night
Early in the morning, at the break of day
He used to sleep ’til the afternoon
And if you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
’Cause, people, let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he died out on the mainline
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight’s the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Oh tonight's the night
I love you, baby, can I have some more?
Oh, oh, the damage done
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song, because I love the man
I know that some of you don’t understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin’ sun
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eyes
But his life was in his hands
Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up his guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight’s the night
Early in the morning, at the break of day
He used to sleep ’til the afternoon
And if you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon
’Cause, people, let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he died out on the mainline
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight’s the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Tonight's the night tonight's the night
Oh tonight's the night
