Times of Trouble

[Verse 1]
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 you ditch away
Yeah, and you close the shades

[Chorus 1]
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-oh, oh-oh-oh
You've gotta hold onto your time 'til you break through these times of
Trouble

[Verse 2]
When you try to talk
And the words get hard
And they put you down
Don't you stay
Mm-mmm, don't ditch away

[Chorus 2]
I saw you swingin'
Yeah, swingin' your mother's sword, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playin'
Oh, sometimes the rules get hard, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
You've gotta hold on to your time and break through these times of
Trouble

[Harmonica Solo]

[Chorus 2]
I saw you swingin'
Yeah, swingin' your mother's sword, ooh
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playin'
But oh, sometimes the rules get hard, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But if somebody left you on out on the ledge
If somebody pushed you, you're over the edge
If somebody loved you and left you for dead
You've gotta hold on to your time and break through these times of
Trouble
