About two friends, whom I known
And the whole world know'd 'em
The one and only, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin
Who passed on, from the needle
They o.d.'d
Ah what a big loss,
to this wonderful world
's sad
Dope addicts, dope addicts
You better watch yourself
Dope addicts, dope addicts
You got to watch yourself
You one of these days, one of these days
You might pass on
Stop shootin' no needle,
and stop swallowin' that LSD
Stop shootin' no needles,
and stop swallowin' in those pills
That needle's too heavy,
your heart can't take it none
Hey hey
I know, so many young folks,
they're hooked, they're doomed to die
So many young folks,
they're hooked, they're doomed to die
You better try and kick it,
but you can't last long this way
Yeah
Drug addict, drug addict
You better wake up and get wise
Drug addict, drug addict
You better wake up and get wise
Your days are numbered, your days are numbered
Your day you just don't know
You better try and kick it
You better try and kick it
That needle is too heavy for ya
It's too heavy
Hey, it's too heavy
It's too heavy for your heart, for your heart
Hey hey
It's too heavy
It's too heavy
You better kick it right now
I know you better kick it
I know it's hard
You better suffer and kick it
You better suffer and kick it
You got to suffer some
To kick
Hey, it's too heavy for you
