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 watch 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 the setting sun.
