Needle In The Hay Video (MV)

[Originally by Elliott Smith]

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
but 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, a reaction to you
you said you know what he did
you idiot kid, you don't have a clue
sometimes they just 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
i'm gonna walk walk walk
four more blocks, plus the one in my brain
down downstairs
to see the man, he's gonna make it all okay
I can't beat myself, I can't beat myself
and I don't wanna talk
i'm taking the cure
so I can be quiet wherever I want
so leave me alone
you oughta be proud that i'm getting good marks

needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
