Brian Setzer - Buzz Buzz
Written by b. setzer
Cruisin’ ’round this hopeless town,
Down the lovely streets of desire
You’re my angel of mercy all dressed in white
And I’m a smokin’ gun for hire
Takin’ a walk on the wild side
Johnny’s got a habit that he can’t hide
Livin’ life from high to high
When nighttime comes, you can hear him cry
Buzz buzz goes the needle
With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
Buzz buzz goes the needle
And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
Day is night and night is day
Being alive just gets in the way
The twisting snake inside his brain
Whispers to him, ’time to kill the pain’
They told him opportunity was just around the corner
Well, he wore out his shoes tryin’ to find that corner
He might just pick himself up again
Until it happens, until then
Buzz buzz goes the needle
With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
Buzz buzz goes the needle
And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
He’s not a new tattoo dedicated to you
As the ink and the blood mix with pain
It’s a man on a white horse goin’ nowhere
And the man has no face or no name
With the walls closin’ in, he’s runnin’ for cover
He’s spinnin’ way out of control
He might just pick himself up again
Until it happens, until then
Buzz buzz goes the needle
With each jolt of pain, I call out your name
Buzz buzz goes the needle
And I sacrifice, not in vain, not in vain
Buzz buzz goes the needle
Each drop of blood is a token of love
Buzz buzz goes the needle
And I want a sign from above
