Indigo Girls Lyrics

"Pushing The Needle Too Far" lyrics


Words and Music: Amy Ray

I woke up this morning, grey dawn, a prayer on my breath
I lost something precious, God will save me, from losing myself
I think I know what's wrong I think I know what's wrong

Now I've met the queen and I understand why she, she closed the door
I'm not making excuses but you know I've been there a few times I was knocking
on the door
I said I think I know what's wrong I think I know what's wrong

See there's a man he lived in a house had a family of five
Well he blew out the windows and the doors, he said "I just couldn't, I just
couldn't survive"
We've all been removed one way or the other
Don't know our families, don't need our brothers
Pushing the needle too far
Pushing the needle too far

You wake up in the morning, grey dawn, a prayer on your breath
You lost something precious, God will save you, but don't lose yourself
I think I know what's wrong, let me hear ya,
I think I know what's wrong

It's the queen who closed the door the family that lies
The people who turn the cat that has died
The boy that ods the girl with a gun
The world on its knees and a band on the run

Amy:
You'd help me more by not giving in
You know you'd help me more by not giving in
You'd help me more by not giving in 
Now don't you give in
Now you'd help me more by not giving in
Don't you dare, don't you dare
You'd help me more by not giving in
I said you'd help me more by not giving in
Emily:
It's the queen who closed the door the family that lies
The people who turn the cat that has died
The boy that ods the girl with a gun
The world on its knees and a band on the run
By not giving in no
By not giving in no
You said, you said, you wouldn't give it in
I said you'd help me more by not giving in

I think I know what's wrong I think I know what's wrong
Pushin' the needle too far
