Lyrics

NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK
Sittin' in my basement -tryin' to write a hit song
Feeling frustration 'cause nothin' ever seems to come along

Looking for a lyric - hoping for a hook
Mining for a melody that no one ever took before
hey, where'd it go? -- i'd like to know --- it was here a minute ago

Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like I'm lookin' for a
Needle in a Haystack --

Perverts and promises - poseurs and cutie-pies
Gotta be a soulmate -- somewhere in these classifieds

Adding up my numbers - trying to pay my debt
I'd even play the lottery without regret!
I'll be allright---just give me time --- i'm sure i'll find--

(A)/(that)Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like I'm lookin' for a
Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like, Feelin' like

There's worthwhile movies --AT THE VIDEO STORE!!
All my favorite music -- ON THE RADIO!!
I'm sure I'll find the info -- ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!
Happy, happy news --- ON CNN!!
Words of wisdom ----IN THE U.S. MAIL!!
Good conversation --ON THE TELEPHONE!!
I'm lookin' for some humor ---IN THE STATUS QUO!!
It must be over here,..

Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like I'm lookin' for a
Needle in a Haystack

Listening to the promises of all the would-be presidents
Someone talkin' straight would surely set a precedent--but don't hold your breath

Got a lot of buddies but I'm looking for some bona fides
I've heard they exist but I hear they're kinda hard to find

Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like I'm lookin' for a
Needle in a Haystack -- Feelin' like I'm lookin' for a
