歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The neon flicker signs the lease I’m seeking inner static peace Beside the bleach and heavy grease Until the morning brings release The tumble dry is humming low Watching how the colors go A rhythmic tide in heavy flow The only steady life I know I sweep the dust against the floor Behind a reinforced glass door While city sirens start to roar And people ask for something more [Chorus] We’re just spinning in the drum Waiting for the dawn to come Counting up a heavy sum Feeling deaf and feeling numb But the water washes clean Every shadow we have seen In the belly of the machine Living somewhere in between [Verse] Mrs. Higgins brings the sheets From the cold and bitter streets Where the bitter winter meets The rhythm of her heart retreats She’s scrubbing out a coffee stain Hiding all the private pain Like a desert needs the rain Walking through the dark terrain She smiles and gives a little nod A lonely daughter of a god Finding grace in every wad On this holy concrete sod [Chorus] We’re just spinning in the drum Waiting for the dawn to come Counting up a heavy sum Feeling deaf and feeling numb But the water washes clean Every shadow we have seen In the belly of the machine Living somewhere in between [Bridge] Muted trumpets in the wall Waiting for the final call See the lint and shadows fall In this narrow urban hall The fretless bass begins to bend Like a broken-hearted friend On a cycle with no end With a message left to send [Verse] I see the fabric of the block Working round the ticking clock Every door has got a lock Every heart has felt the shock We fold the sorrow in the pile Walk another weary mile With a dusty lo-fi style And a weary, crooked smile The detergent smells like hope Holding on a soapy rope Learning how to truly cope Through a wider telescope [Chorus] We’re just spinning in the drum Waiting for the dawn to come Counting up a heavy sum Feeling deaf and feeling numb But the water washes clean Every shadow we have seen In the belly of the machine Living somewhere in between [Outro]
