[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]
