Needles and Pins - Ruby Throat

I let go a spider onto a ledge

I guess he’s got wires

And I hope he’s still got his legs

I use mine all up and I need my disease

I pick at it and I peel away

More resilient with scar tissue every day

I run and it hunts me down

They said I should make her a friend

But a friend like that

Will kill her in the end

So have you got anything new?

Well, yes, I’ve got some new cement boots

Clouds are lashing across my face

Falling with the grace of granite in yesterday’s gales

I run and it hunts me down

They said I should make her a friend

But a friend like that

Will kill her in the end

Needle and pins

Still I can’t feel a thing

From the waist down

Needle and pins

Said I can’t reach my limbs

As the plane came down

Internal wiring of the house fails

She’ll blow away in yesterday’s gales

Voices cacophony, inside, outside

Down the plug hole, suicide

I run and it hunts me down

They said I should make her a friend

But a friend like that

Will kill her in the end

Needle and pins

Still I can’t feel a thing

From the waist down

Needle and pins

Said I can’t reach my limbs

As the plane came down

I let go a spider onto a ledge

I guess he’s got wires

And I hope he’s still got his legs
