A New Needle

Trying to get a tune 
out of broken records?
Sounds like insanity;
You cannot pioneer 
and deny what you see;

Trying to get a tune;
There is such a deep scratch,
the song can’t keep going;
Stuck forever in place 
a sleepy beat skipping;

Trying to get a tune 
so you press play again;
Rolling so beautiful;
That turntable light’s up,
hit with a new needle.
