Lint and Loss

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum is getting loud
Among the 2 a.m. crowd
You were folding a faded shroud
Of a basement show, feeling proud
I made a joke about the soap
You gave me a little rope
Of a smile, or maybe hope
Through the laundry telescope
[Pre-Chorus]
The dryer spins a rhythmic beat
Smelling like the summer heat
Tumbling down on Main Street
Where the weird and lonely meet
[Chorus]
Hey, where’s my favorite tee?
The one from the gig in '03
You took it home, I guarantee
A ghost in the machinery
Now it's just a memory
And a stain on my history
[Verse]
The Farfisa’s wheezing in the back
Of a mind that’s starting to crack
You liked that band with the lo-fi track
The one with the singer who couldn't act
We traded zines and cheap advice
About how the local beer is nice
But the price of fame is a roll of dice
And I paid it once, I paid it twice
[Chorus]
Hey, where’s my favorite tee?
The one from the gig in '03
You took it home, I guarantee
A ghost in the machinery
Now it's just a memory
And a stain on my history
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round
Lost and found
In this town
Going down
[Bridge]
I checked the lint trap for your name
But every dryer looks the same
A stupid little waiting game
Without a spark, without a flame
Just a quarter and a shame
And no one else to really blame
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Hey, where’s my favorite tee?
The one from the gig in '03
You took it home, I guarantee
A ghost in the machinery
Now it's just a memory
And a stain on my history
[Outro]
