The Silver Heel

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent hum above the tile
Spinning cycles for a while
Neon suds begin to rise
Paint the ceiling with your eyes
Indigo and electric lime
Bubbles frozen out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
The Farfisa starts to moan
In a static dial tone
Every bubble is a sun
Now the journey has begun
[Chorus]
Oh the dryer’s breathing stars
Venus trapped in mason jars
Folded shirts are birds of light
Taking off in paper flight
Spinning gold and velvet blue
Everything is brand new
[Post-Chorus]
Brand new
In the blue
Just for you
[Verse]
A single sock of silver thread
Winks a message from the dead
No it’s just a tiny guide
Through the portal open wide
Past the lint and past the grime
To a meadow made of rhyme
[Bridge]
Dilruba strings start to bend
Where the colors never end
Wildflowers hum a soft refrain
Jingles from a summer rain
“Buy the soap that makes you glow”
“Watch the garden start to grow”
[Hook]
Silver messenger
Starry passenger
Spinning round and round
Feet off the ground
[Chorus]
Oh the dryer’s breathing stars
Venus trapped in mason jars
Folded shirts are birds of light
Taking off in paper flight
Spinning gold and velvet blue
Everything is brand new
[Verse]
Tumble dry on low heat
Hear the frame drum’s steady beat
Origami cranes of lace
Floating through the inner space
The silver heel leads the way
Back to where the children play
[Break]
[Chorus]
Oh the dryer’s breathing stars
Venus trapped in mason jars
Folded shirts are birds of light
Taking off in paper flight
Spinning gold and velvet blue
Everything is brand new
[Post-Chorus]
Brand new
In the blue
Just for you
[Outro]
