I caught you knocking at my cellar door

I love you, baby, "can I have some more?"

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 setting sun
