Line Requirement: at least 8
All he sees are needles and smiles
Cold unwelcoming tables that turn
Wonder what brings out suicidals
Lights and mirrors seem to stretch miles
All he desires to scratch the burn
All he sees are needles and smiles
Names numbers images in files
Before you leave he makes sure you learn
Wonder what brings out suicidals
The deep gas surgery high dials
Drills for hours your dreamland churns
All he sees are needles and smiles
You won't take care of after while
Which is worse, who will, or won't, return
Wonder what brings out suicidals
All he sees are needles and smiles.
