歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Neon flickers on the tile floor Static hum behind the metal door Folding towels while the city sleeps Secrets that the dryer keeps Found a picture in a denim pocket Tucked away like a golden locket Faded edges of a summer smile Been forgotten for a long while I watch the shadows on the wall Waiting for the night to call Dusty air and the scent of bleach Lessons that the preachers teach Empty bottles of the heavy tide Nowhere for the ghosts to hide [Pre-Chorus] Watch the water swirl and spin Wash away the original sin Every cycle tells a different tale Of a heart that's brittle and frail [Chorus] Spinning cycles in the midnight blue Sifting through the things we knew Left behind in the heavy heat Echoes of the city street Lost letters and the broken ties Underneath the fluorescent skies (Scratched: "Check the pocket") (Scratched: "Wash it all away") [Verse] Found a letter in a mesh bag Written on a yellowed paper tag Dear Maria I was wrong to go Words he never had the nerve to show Stained with coffee and a bit of grease Seeking for a little inner peace I fold the paper put it on the shelf A conversation with his former self Another woman leaves a single glove Evidence of a finished love She stares into the spinning drum Numb to where the pain comes from I just nod and keep the change Life is acting mighty strange [Bridge] The lint is heavy like the regret Things we haven't finished yet Warm air blowing through the vent Wondering where the money went Soap suds bubbling like a dream Ripping at the final seam Upright bass begins to walk Listen to the silence talk [Verse] Clock ticks the rhythm sticks Sorting through the heavy mix Single socks and the lonely locks Ticking like the paradox Strangers pass with a hollow gaze Lost inside the soapy haze I'm the witness to the quiet life Cutting through the daily strife When the morning sun begins to peak I find the answers that they seek Just a button or a silver dime Frozen in a pocket of time Close the shop and lock the gate Leave the rest to simple fate [Chorus] Spinning cycles in the midnight blue Sifting through the things we knew Left behind in the heavy heat Echoes of the city street Lost letters and the broken ties Underneath the fluorescent skies (Scratched: "Spin it back") (Scratched: "The night shift") [Outro]
