Your hand on his arm,
Haystack charm 
Around your neck.
 [bad word] out and thin,
Calling some friend,
Trying to cash some check.

He's acting dumb
That's what [bad word] 
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, 
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...
