Needle

Dream wives pushing up their prices Even though it's a dying trade Cool hands sticking to their guns Hoping it'll keep them safe They're eyeing off each other Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay But the sun's gone down and they're feeling around With palms stretched open, skimming the ground I was hoping that things were better since we're all so clever Quick cash filling up the pockets Of the most boring men in the room Red lips, the promise of kisses Whisper sweet nothingness They're eyeing off each other Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay But the sun's gone down and they're feeling around With palms stretched open, skimming the ground And you're sitting high above it Modern comfort is always having something to say And a million artists have come to this in the past years Tired and hungry, laughing through tears I was hoping that we'd feel better since we're all so clever You look better in the spring The violence, play the rite of it I see you ever considering Packing up your things and driving into the sea We're eyeing off each other Hoping to discover the only needle in the hay But the sun's gone down and we're feeling around With arms stretched open, skimming the ground I was hoping that things were better And I was hoping that things were better I was hoping that things were better since we're all so clever
