Your hand on his arm
Haystack charm wrung around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friends, trying to cash some check
He says you're acting dumb
Oh, that's what you've come to expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toe's a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
You idiot kid, you don't have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye
You're pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
And now we're on the bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out 6th and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
I'm gonna walk, walk, walk
Four more blocks plus one in my break
The down, downstairs to the man
He's gonna make it all ok
I can't beat myself, I can't beat myself
And I don't want to talk
I'm taking a cure, so I can be quiet whenever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
