INDIGO GIRLS - pushing the needle too far lyrics

rate me

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
