The Needle - The Lightning Year

I feel my heart flush, hushed with a glow

I’m blissin' out slow now

I sense my defence float gently down stream

It hits me like a rad dream

The voice is fine

Theres a stillness in my mind

I’m letting it go…

The demon is gone

When the Needle is on

Oh my relief is strong

When the Needle is on

Like a child of religion they christened my soul

At the church of rock n roll now

And I do my best in protecting the breed

Of T. Rex and Lou Reed

And how I cried when I heard Brian Wilson sigh (Wonderful and ‘Till I Die)

Cus it was then that I knew that I wasn’t alone

The demon is gone

When the Needle is on

Oh my relief is strong

When the Needle is on

Every morning

Every morning hit me a song

Kills my mind and everything’s gone
