I've been a sick, licked for a seven
Tiny and red
Hail to the address of your mother in bed
Cause you're sittin' on a gold mine
Shootin' up the whole time
Cleanin' up the refuse from your
Last hit and coke lines
I've been pullin' thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh oh
Ya make me laugh, and
Ya make me crow
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh oh
Ya make me laugh, and
Ya make me crow
I've been pulling thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle
Now seven times two equals fourteen
It's time to get down, yeah
Ya know what I mean?
And I've been pullin' friends
Outta friends that I used to have
I've been pullin' thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle, lady
Mozeltov, a rollin' ball
That ran right over him
Shame men to death
Men livin' off all their friends
My right hand, my left hand
They're both no good
It's a black lung like the young
Who's dying while they could
I've been pullin' thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle, lady
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh oh
Ya make me laugh, and
Ya make me crow
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh oh
Ya make me laugh, and
Ya make me crow
I've been pulling thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh oh
Ya make me laugh, and
Ya make me crow
Devil out in the blizzard
I knew he wouldn't kiss her
I just wanna know
If the girl had a sister
I've been pulling thread
Doin' all kinds of evil
Know ya hate me baby
But don't break the needle lady
