I caught you knockin'
  at my cellar door
  I love you, baby,
  can I have some more
  Ooh, ooh, 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 running 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.
