I caught you knockin' 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 watched 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 runnin' out.

I've seen the needle and the damage done,
a little part of it in everyone,
but every junkie's like a settin' sun.
