Lyrics Born Ruffians

Born Ruffians

Needle

I belong to no one

Like the watermelon

Rolling with momentum, spitting out its seeds

Buried under snow and waiting just to show us

How it grows and knows how yummy it will be

I belong to no one

A song without an album

Long forgotten maxim spoken to the sea:

I belong with no one

I belong with no one

I belong with no one...

You belong with me

When I was a boy

I wished that I was older

Wished that I was taller, tall enough to see

See the things I see today

Now I wish they’d go away

Out and let me far astray

Stray from what I need

Needle in the hay

Lost but in my place

Peaceful in my way

Hope I never have to sew again

Tumble, tumble down

As I strike the ground

Make a mighty sound knowing I have found a way

A way

A way

A way to always belong

Belong

Belong

Won’t belong until I am gone

Away

Away

Away to always belong

Belong

Belong

Won’t belong until I am gone

I am just a no one

I’m the same as everyone

Spinning underneath the sun, head between my knees

I belong to no one

I am a minimum

Rolling into bigger sums adding them to me

Needle in the hay

Lost but in my place

Peaceful in my way

Hope I never have to sew again

Tumble, tumble down

As I strike the ground

Make a mighty sound knowing I have found a way

A way

A way

A way to always belong

Belong

Belong

Won’t belong until I am gone

Away

Away

Away to always belong

Belong

Belong

Won’t be long until I am gone
