Lint and Stardust

[Intro]
[Verse]
The neon hums a low D
The soap suds rise like the sea
Dryer number four is clicking
The wall clock keeps on ticking
You sat across the aisle
With a hidden, paper smile
Folding pages in the heat
Tucked away from the street
[Pre-Chorus]
The floor is cold and grey
The blue light starts to fade away
I watch the shadows crawl
Across the yellowed wall
[Chorus]
You left a paper dream
Stitched with a silver seam
Of foxes in the street
And stars beneath our feet
Ink upon your thumb
Where did you come from?
The spin cycle is slow
I hate to see you go
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning in the light
Quiet in the night
Spinning in the light
Everything's alright
[Verse]
You wore a faded coat
Like a drifting wooden boat
Searching through your pockets
For some shiny golden rockets
You didn't say a word
The quietest thing I heard
Just a nod and a blink
And a smudge of purple ink
[Pre-Chorus]
The floor is cold and grey
The blue light starts to fade away
I watch the shadows crawl
Across the yellowed wall
[Chorus]
You left a paper dream
Stitched with a silver seam
Of foxes in the street
And stars beneath our feet
Ink upon your thumb
Where did you come from?
The spin cycle is slow
I hate to see you go
[Bridge]
Orion in the bleach
Just slightly out of reach
A raccoon on a bin
With a paper-thin grin
The world is small tonight
Under the laundry light
[Chorus]
You left a paper dream
Stitched with a silver seam
Of foxes in the street
And stars beneath our feet
Ink upon your thumb
Where did you come from?
The spin cycle is slow
I hate to see you go
[Outro]
