"Needle To The Bone" lyrics - L.A. GUNS

Don't race a bullet with a train on a track
You start ahead but end up down in the pack
You made a mess you know will never be clean
You're sleepin' easy but it's hardly a dream

[Pre-Chorus:]
Pain at the start
Numb when you fall
(Gotta be lucky)
Dying is an art
Living is a ball

[Chorus:]
And now you know the way to live through a heart attack
Pay off the devil with no money back
And now you need it
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, now you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone

Go take your chances on a wire with a shock
Stand in the water with your head on a block
You got no memory no more of what you seen
You think it's easy, well it is for me

[Pre-Chorus:]
Drained at the start
Full when you fall
(Gotta be lucky)
Dying is a part of
Living through it all

[Chorus:]
And now you know the way to live through a heart attack
Pay off the devil with no money back
And now you need it
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, now you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone

[Bridge:]
Horse shoe stomp
Rabbit foot thump
Wishing on a star
Must be lucky
Penny for the toss
Fingers gone cross
Clover leaf four
Gotta be lucky
Seven for the win
Get it all in
Live a little sin
Guess who's got that luck

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, but you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone
Late, now you know
It's like a needle hittin' straight to the bone

[Outro:]
To the bone
To the bone
To the bone
