Verse 1:
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
Chorus:
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
Verse 2:
he's wearing your 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
somtimes they just get caught in the eye
you're pulling him through
Chorus:
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
Middle: (x3)

Verse 3:
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 break
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
Chorus: (x2)
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
Ending: (x3)
