v.1
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
C'mon baby can I have some more?
Oh... the damage done

v.2
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done

Instr. Brk.

v.3
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you won't understand
Milk-blood, to keep from runnin' out

v.4
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun

Instr. Brk. to end
