Here I am in traffic's slow flow
|
Where the needle touched down
|
Carbon planes draw a cage round the air force base
|
Where the needle touched down
|
My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low
|
Over poor Spanaway
|
|
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
|
Took the name of your town from a sharp-toothed freighter
|
The needle's the same that recorded and played
|
When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away
|
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
|
You'd still be here baby
|
My baby, baby
|
|
So that's why I never come back here
|
That's why they spit out my name
|
Your ex's have clawed up the bible
|
Trying to keep me away
|
With the sledge of tectonic fever
|
The needle has landed again
|
Let it play
|
|
And the needle touched down
|
The needle is landing
|
And the needle touched down
|
The needle is landing
|
|
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
|
Took the name of your town
|
From a sharp-toothed freighter
|
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
|
You'd still be here
|

The Needle Has Landed
