Oh
Mmm

Feel the rhythm with your hands
(Steal the rhythm while you can)
Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
(Speak the rhythm all alone)
Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me, yeah
Save, oh

Well, all my friends are Indians
(All my friends are brown and red)
Spoonman
And all my friends are skeletons
(They beat the rhythm with their bones)
Spoonman
Oh, hmm

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
Save
Save me
Save me, yeah
Save
With your

(Come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on)

With your hands
With your hands
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Hands

(Come on while I get off)
(Come on while I get off)
(Come on while I get off)
(Come on while I get off, yeah)
(Come on while I get off)
(Come on while I get off)
(Come on while I get off)
Come on while I get off

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
Save, yeah
Save me
With your, with your hands
Feel the rhythm with your hands
(Steal the rhythm while you can)
Spoonman

    General CommentYou might call it “drug crazed”, but if this song is about “Artis the Spoonman” he is definitely a heroin user.
    “Steal the “rythm” while you can” (The “rythmm” is your dope.) “All my friends are brown and red” (again a reference to heroin.) “speak the rythm all alone” (We heroin users are friendless. There is no such thing as “friends” in the user community.) “All my friends are skeletons” (ever seen a junkie. Most of us are skinnier than people with eating disorders.) “save me. I’m together with your plan.” (This is the end. Like in the case of Layne Staley, this junkie had come to the realization that there’s nothing left in this world for him/her and have decided to purposefully O.D.)
    If it interest you, I am s heroin user myself. Actually, I’m in a health department programme where I’m frequenting a clinique, where I come (with a lot of other users from my community) and shoot up twice a day.
