Elliott Smith Needle In The Hay Lyrics

Needle In The Hay Lyrics

your hand on his arm
    the hay stack charm around your neck
    strung out and thin
    calling some friend trying to cash some check
    he`s acting dumb
    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 yr clothes
    head down to toes a reaction to you
    you say you know what he did
    but 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
    now on the bus
    nearly touching this dirty retreat
    falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
    gonna walk walk walk
    four more blocks plus the one in my brain
    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 the 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
