Laundromat Limbo

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent flicker on the floor
Shadows pacing by the door
I don't live here anymore
Locked inside a lonely war
Blue soap bubbles start to pour
Like a wave upon the shore
Everything's a hollow chore
I am rotten to the core
[Pre-Chorus]
Detergent bottles blink like eyes
Telling all your pretty lies
The static in the ceiling crawls
Echoing inside the walls
[Chorus]
Watch the red hoodie spin
Where do the ghosts begin?
The fabric's wearing thin
Underneath the plastic skin
Let the cycle draw you in
Wash away the original sin
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Lost and never found
In the laundromat limbo
Watching all the shadows grow
[Verse]
Found a nickel in the lint
Gave the dark a silver glint
You were always losing change
Now the silence feels so strange
A ghost is trapped inside the drum
Beating like a spirit thumb
The Farfisa starts to moan
I am better off alone
[Chorus]
Watch the red hoodie spin
Where do the ghosts begin?
The fabric's wearing thin
Underneath the plastic skin
Let the cycle draw you in
Wash away the original sin
[Bridge]
One-finger piano plays a ghost
To the things I miss the most
The theremin begins to wail
Like a ship without a sail
Static filling up my head
Everything we never said
[Verse]
The film plays on the wall
I barely hear the actors call
Forget it, it's just the rain
Washing out the velvet stain
The cycle clicks into the end
I've lost another phantom friend
[Chorus]
Watch the red hoodie spin
Where do the ghosts begin?
The fabric's wearing thin
Underneath the plastic skin
Let the cycle draw you in
Wash away the original sin
[Breakdown]
Only static on the line
Waiting for a holy sign
The beat is dragging in the mud
Cold water in my blood
[Outro]
