Written by b. setzer      Cruisin' 'round this hopeless town,   Down the lovely streets of desire   You're my angel of mercy all dressed in white   And I'm a smokin' gun for hire      Takin' a walk on the wild side   Johnny's got a habit that he can't hide   Livin' life from high to high   When nighttime comes, you can hear him cry      Buzz buzz goes the needle   With each jolt of pain, I call out your name   Buzz buzz goes the needle   And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain      Day is night and night is day   Being alive just gets in the way   The twisting snake inside his brain   Whispers to him, 'time to kill the pain'      They told him opportunity was just around the corner   Well, he wore out his shoes tryin' to find that corner   He might just pick himself up again   Until it happens, until then      Buzz buzz goes the needle   With each jolt of pain, I call out your name   Buzz buzz goes the needle   And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain      He's not a new tattoo dedicated to you   As the ink and the blood mix with pain   It's a man on a white horse goin' nowhere   And the man has no face or no name      With the walls closin' in, he's runnin' for cover   He's spinnin' way out of control   He might just pick himself up again   Until it happens, until then      Buzz buzz goes the needle   With each jolt of pain, I call out your name   Buzz buzz goes the needle   And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain      Buzz buzz goes the needle   Each drop of blood is a token of love   Buzz buzz goes the needle   And I want a sign from above
