Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Fluorescent hum above my head The dryer spins a thread of red Outside the tracks begin to shake A heart I didn't mean to break The soap is thin, the air is cold I’m doing what I’m told [Pre-Chorus] Count the quarters in my hand Sifting through the desert sand The organ groans a heavy low Nowhere left for me to go [Chorus] Folding ghosts into the dust Doing it because I must Neon blue and static gray Wash the Southern dust away Flicker light and empty floor I don't live there anymore [Post-Chorus] Wash it all away In the static gray Wash it all away I won't stay [Verse] Faded cotton, ninety-four Sweat and beer on the floor The rusted gate, the Sunday bell A story that I'll never tell Ironing out the wrinkled lies Underneath these city skies My old man’s ghost is on the wall Waiting for my pride to fall [Pre-Chorus] Count the quarters in my hand Sifting through the desert sand The organ groans a heavy low Nowhere left for me to go [Chorus] Folding ghosts into the dust Doing it because I must Neon blue and static gray Wash the Southern dust away Flicker light and empty floor I don't live there anymore [Bridge] He’s still standing by the creek With words he was too scared to speak But I’m the one who caught the train And I’m the one who likes the rain I burned the map, I broke the seal This is how I choose to feel [Chorus] Folding ghosts into the dust Doing it because I must Neon blue and static gray Wash the Southern dust away Flicker light and empty floor I don't live there anymore [Post-Chorus] Wash it all away In the static gray Wash it all away I won't stay [Outro]
