歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Flashlight cuts the velvet dark Safety pins and a neon spark Cigarette smoke in a plastic lung Songs my mother never sung The escalator hums a prayer Stale perfume in the heavy air [Breakdown] Click-clack, the knee joints snap Falling into a memory trap Polyester skin, white as bone A kingdom built on a payday loan [Build-up] They’re folding laundry that isn't there Braiding ghosts of synthetic hair The glass armonica rings out high Underneath a fluorescent sky [Hook] Welcome to the midnight sale Where spirits thin and bodies frail We trade our names for a barcode sign Walking the sharp and the Lydian line [Verse] Auntie’s hands in a window display Stirring a pot made of paper-mache Grandpa’s suit is a size too small Leaning against the drywalled wall They whisper in a dialect of grit Whatever the clearance rack will permit [Bridge] Steam from the dryer, a foggy ghost Who do you love the absolute most? The passport is buried in Aisle Four Behind the heavy, magnetic door The mannequins weep in a rhythmic beat Staining the tiles of the empty street [Interlude] Static in the wiring Tired of the hiring Shadows are retiring Systems are un-firing [Chorus] Spin the cycle, wash the shame No one here remembers your name But the plastic knows the way we felt Before the wax began to melt In the sharp G light, we are divine Tangled in the nylon twine [Post-Chorus] G Lydian dreams Tearing at the seams Silent screams In fluorescent beams [Verse] I punch the clock at 4 AM The plastic starts to stir again A cousin's laugh in a mannequin's chest Finding a place for the weary to rest No more labels, no more price Just cold hands and a heart of ice [Outro]
