Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Quarter in the slot, stuck with the bubblegum Waiting for the rhythm of the double drum Sorting through the vintage threads and denim tears Washing out sins of the passing years Neon "Open" flickering above the door Sweeping dreams off the linoleum floor Steam rising from the industrial heat Walking to the tempo of the city street [Pre-Chorus] The dryer turns a heavy round I’m searching for a better sound The suds are rising to the top I pray the music doesn't stop [Chorus] It’s just a spin cycle for the soul Trying to maintain some self-control Between the folding and the heavy toll I’m digging deep to find a golden goal [Verse] Found a polaroid inside a pocket seam Faded image of a forgotten dream Ironing the wrinkles out of graphic tees While I’m drowning in my own anxieties A Hendrix shirt from back in '74 Reminds me what I’m really working for The needle drops when I get back home Inside the vinyl where my spirits roam [Breakdown] Soul samples screaming through the vents Paying off the dues and the monthly rents Rhodes chords looping in my tired brain Washing off the dirt and the heavy rain [Chorus] It’s just a spin cycle for the soul Trying to maintain some self-control Between the folding and the heavy toll I’m digging deep to find a golden goal [Verse] Static in the attic keeps the vision clear I’m overcoming every single hidden fear They see a worker with a plastic bin I see a poet with the thickest skin Scuffed up Technics spinning 12-inch plates Negotiating with the cruelest fates I’m more than just a minimum wage ghost I’m the one the universe will toast [Post-Chorus] Spinning 'round and 'round again Waiting for the story to begin Spinning 'round and 'round again Waiting for the story to begin [Outro]
