Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Bleach fumes hitting the lung Old tunes already been sung Spin cycle humming a hymn Neon light flickering dim Pocket full of silver and brass Watching all the minutes just pass Faded denim, frayed at the seam Chasing a forgotten old dream Warm air, scent of the soap Dangling on a slippery rope Twenty years gone in a blink Standing on the edge of the brink [Hook] Static on the radio dial Walk another lonely long mile Tumble dry the weight of the past Nothing in this city can last Fold it up and put it away Waiting for a brand new day [Verse] Postcards crumpled in the coat Words that I never quite wrote Missed calls from a ghost in the dark Left a permanent heavy black mark Used to be the king of the block Now I’m just watching the clock Snap snare hitting the bone Sitting in the corner alone Chopped soul crying in the mix Searching for a permanent fix Dryer sheets, soft to the touch Maybe I was asking too much [Hook] Static on the radio dial Walk another lonely long mile Tumble dry the weight of the past Nothing in this city can last Fold it up and put it away Waiting for a brand new day [Bridge] Southern soul crying in the beat Steam rising up from the street Wah-guitar loops in my head Thinking 'bout the things that I said Walking bassline leading me home Underneath the city’s grey dome [Verse] Late shifts, double the pay Wishing I could just fly away Triumphs turned into a blur Memories of him and of her Sharp mind, blade in the sheath Gritting every one of my teeth Lint trap catching the regret Best years haven't happened yet Vinyl crackle pops in the ear Drowning out the ghost of the fear Last load, locking the door I don't wanna fight anymore [Hook] Static on the radio dial Walk another lonely long mile Tumble dry the weight of the past Nothing in this city can last Fold it up and put it away Waiting for a brand new day [Outro]
