Needle's Eye Lyrics

Oh, I've got a feeling, and I'd bet my life
Something's gonna happen to me tonight
Yes, I've got a hunch down in my bones
Something's gonna get me ere I reach home
Well, I've been bothered by some bad dreams
Like a guilty thief picking Poverty's pocket clean
I passed a beggar, nothing I would do
Will he accuse me when I try to get through

Through the needle's eye, through the needle's eye
I thought I saw an angry man coming
Through the needle's eye, through the needle's eye
He wore the look of a sheriff with a summons

I am persuaded by these daggers of blame
Stabbing me at night in my conscience vein
That evil's taking root down in my cold heart
Chasing out compassion with a werewolf bark
I'm pleading nolo contendre to unfortunate eyes
Holding me in contempt for having no alibi
You see, I ain't got a lot, but avarice still rules
And the camel will be straining when I try to get through

Through the needle's eye, through the needle's eye
I saw a selfish soul in perdition
Through the needle's eye, through the needle's eye
Here lies a fool my granite inscription

Did I see it in the moon beams
Fallin' down through the vapor
Was it something in the real world
Or from a toxic fever
Dead eyes like a zombie
With gargoyle features
If I run can I shake off this
Doppelganger

I'm trying to get through the needle's eye
I'm trying to get through the needle's eye
