Static and Stardust

[Intro]
[Verse]
One a.m. neon light
Detergent smells of home
Underneath the city height
Where the lonely spirits roam
The dryer turns a slow rotation
A humid, warm vibration
[Pre-Chorus]
He moves the mop in time
To a rhythm in his head
A melody I used to shine
Before the lights went dead
[Chorus]
Oh, let the silver spin
Where the velvet meets the tin
He’s humming Track Number Four
From a life I lived before
Just a smile across the tile
Stay a little while
[Post-Chorus]
Ding-clink, sing-clink
Zinc-clink, blink-clink
Low-rumble, slow-tumble
Glow-rumble, go-rumble
[Verse]
This gown has seen better days
Sequins catching lint
Tucked in a soapy haze
With a gin and tonic hint
He stops his bucket by the door
Like he’s heard it all before
[Bridge]
We don’t need to speak
Our memories are meek
The bass is in the floor
The rain is at the door
He knows my name in blue
And I think I know him too
[Verse]
Fold the sleeves, tuck the lace
Memory has a tired face
The trumpet’s muted in the steam
Waking from a Technicolor dream
He nods once, real slow
Nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
Oh, let the silver spin
Where the velvet meets the tin
He’s humming Track Number Four
From a life I lived before
Just a smile across the tile
Stay a little while
[Outro]
