Into the room like a target

Into my heart like a knife

I can lead you to water

I can lead you to drink

I can lead you into changing your life

But if you're looking for a girl to hold on to

Better than the one by your side

You can try to change horses

In the middle of the stream

If another horse is ready to ride



You came into the fray like a soldier

Into the night like a whore

And I could leave you for no one

I could leave you for dead

I could leave for something new to explore

Now you got everything that you ever wanted

You got piece of ass and peace of mind

Still there's another to the left

And there's another to the right

If you think that theirs are better than mine



And you've been searching for devotion

And you've been outside looking in

And you've been hoping for a sign to save the day

I am the one who's always been here

I am the unoriginal sin

I'm the needle in the haystack



Into the soul like a surgeon

Into the pain like a smile

I could love you forever

I could love you for now

I could love you like a motherless child

But if you're waiting for a woman to offer

More than just the love on these lips

Well you can take another prisoner

Or take another road

And I'll pack a little food for the trip



'Cause you've been out there on your ocean

And you've survived the undertow

And you've been waiting for the tide to turn your way

I am the one who's always been here

I am the secret that you know

I'm the needle in the haystack



'Cause you've been wasting emotion

And you've been angling for it all

And you've been trolling while the big one slips away

I am
