The Needle Has Landed
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 okay to fly low

Over poor span away

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 exes 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 landed

And the needle touched down

The needle is landed

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
