Times of Trouble Temple of the Dog

[Verse 1]
When the spoon is hot and the needle's sharp
And you drift away, ooh, I can hear you say
That the world in black is upon your back
And your body shakes, so you ditch away
Yeah, and you close the shades

[Chorus 1]
Don't try to do it, don't try to kill your time, oh
Yeah, you might do it, then you can't change your mind, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You gotta hold onto your time 'til you break through these times of
Trouble

[Verse 2]
When you try to talk and the words get hard
And they put you down, don't you stay
Mm-mmm, don't ditch away

[Chorus 2]
I saw you swingin', yeah, swingin' your mother's sword, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're playin', oh, sometimes the rules get hard, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
But if somebody left you out on a ledge
If somebody pushed you over the edge
You gotta hold on to your time and break through these times of
Trouble
