NEEDLE IN THE HAY

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, coming last in a fast race
Doctors talking bullshit to your face, saying Clozapine is safe
But don’t you listen to what they say, fly away to a better place
I am here to be your ace of spades, make the fuckers go away 
Won’t you listen to my master plan, let’s meet halfway in dreamland
We’ll both do all that we fucking can, leave nothing to random chance
Our life choices are in our own hands, no more chemicals to enhance
Our enjoyment of life itself, banned books upon a broken shelf
Taking us one more step towards hell, with many demons to dispel
Time to listen to nature’s bell, start to be strong again as well

Needle in the hay, life’s just a game we all play
We have gone astray, time for both of us to change
When things go our way, there shall come a better day
When ourselves we face, all that’s not OK becomes OK

The path we’re on is of concern, a garden with no earthworms
Many lessons for us to learn, or else our frail minds will burn
Don’t reach the point of no return, like ashes left in an urn
From all false pleasures we must turn, if it’s freedom we do yearn
Health and happiness we deserve, upon this beautiful earth
Instead of moving in reverse, time to finally give birth
To new beginnings, start winning at all the things we’re doing
As the roulette wheel keeps spinning, raise a toast to clean living
We just have to start believing, may we both start conceiving
Of a time we don’t just give in, harness power from within

Needle in the hay, life’s just a game we all play
We have gone astray, time for both of us to change
When things go our way, there shall come a better day
When ourselves we face, all that’s not OK becomes OK

Sure there’s a high mountain to climb, a blind man leading the blind
With many obstacles in line, what a fucking waste of time
But what’s the point in getting high with the real world to deny?
All the tears you’ve ever cried from the pain you’ve felt inside
Is no excuse for doing this, temporary kind of bliss
We shall see in the clearing mist all the beauty that exists
Outside a world that’s hit and miss, time to give it all the flick
Like an insect upon your wrist, live as if you want to live
Yes, face the world without poison, fresh start in a new season
May love itself be the reason, an earthly kind of heaven

Needle in the hay, life’s just a game we all play
We have gone astray, time for both of us to change
When things go our way, there shall come a better day
When ourselves we face, all that’s not OK becomes OK
