Testo: Brian Setzer. Buzz Buzz.

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 wait for a sign from above
