Thirty days, lord and thirty nights 
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight 
Mama waitin' at the ticket line 
Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'

It was the needle and the spoon 
And a trip to the moon 
Took me away, took me away

I've been feelin' so sick and tired 
Got to get better, lord before I die 
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said 
You better quit, son before your dead

It was the needle and the spoon 
And a trip to the moon 
Took me away, took me away

Quit the needle 
Quit the spoon 
Quit the trip to the moon 
We gonna take you away 
Lord, we gonna take you away 

It was the needle and the spoon 

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool 
But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools 
Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say 
You'll have your chance to hit it some day

It was the needle and the spoon 
And a trip to the moon 
Took me away, took me away

Don't mess with the needle or a spoon 
Or any trip to the moon 
It'll take you away

Lord, their gonna bury you boy 
Don't mess with the needle 
Now I know, I know, I know...
