Pushing The Needle Too Far Lyrics

    Well i woke up this morning
    Grey dawn
    With a prayer on my breath
    See i lost something precious
    And god'll save me
    From losing myself
    I said i think i know what's wrong
    I think i know what's wrong

    Now i met the queen and i understand why
    Why she closed the door
    I'm not making excuses
    But you know i've been there a few times
    You know i was
    I was knocking on the door
    I said i think i know what's wrong
    I think i know what's wrong
    Wrong wrong

    There's a man
    He lived in a house
    Had a family of five
    Well he blew up the windows and the doors
    He said "i just couldn't
    I just couldn't survive"
    We've all been removed
    In one way or another
    We don't know our families
    We don't need our brothers
    We're pushing the needle too far
    Pushing the needle too far

    Well if you wake up in the morning
    Grey dawn
    There's a prayer on your breath
    See maybe you lost something precious
    God'll save you
    From losing yourself
    I said i think i know what's wrong
    Let me hear you
    I think i know what's wrong

    There's queen who closed the door
    The family that lies
    People who turn
    The cat that has died
    A boy that od's
    A girl with a gun
    The world on its knees
    And a band on the run
    You know you'd help me more
    (the queen who closed the door)
    By not giving in
    (the family that lies)
    You know you'd help me more
    (people who turn)
    By not giving in
    (and the cat that has died)
    You know you'd help me more
    (a boy that od's)
    By not giving in
    (and a girl with a gun)
    I said you'd help me more
    (the world on it's knees)
    Now don't you give in
    (and a band on the run)
    Ah now you'd help me more
    By not giving
    I said don't you dare
    (not giving in no)
    Don't you dare
    (not giving in no)
    Don't you dare
    You'd help me more
    By not giving in
    I said you'd help me more
    By not giving in
    I said i
    I think i know what's wrong
    I think i know what's wrong
    We're pushing the needle too far
