Needle in the Hay - Nadja

Needle In The Hay (Elliott Smith) - Nadja
Your hand on his arm
Haystack 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 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
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 sixth 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 okay
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 wherever 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
