歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Two AM and the neon’s humming blue Suds are rising in machine number two Wurlitzer keys on the radio low Watching the heavy white linens go Steam on the glass like a ghost I’m the one who needs it most Checking my pockets for a stray dime Lost in the rhythm of the time [Pre-Chorus] Then you sat in the plastic chair Shaking the rain out of your hair Holding a ghost in a leather spine Asking for change or a little time [Chorus] We’re spinning in the same machine Reading lines that we’ve never seen Inherited grief on a dog-eared page Taming the tiger inside the cage Honeyed warmth in a cold-lit room Chasing away the midnight gloom [Post-Chorus] Wash it all away In the pale light of day Let the rhythm play Just stay [Verse] You showed me ink from a dead man’s soul Trying to make a broken heart whole Your father’s name on the inside cover Words he once whispered to a lover The smell of old paper and laundry soap A fragile and tattered kind of hope We shared a look that felt like home Two tired seeds in the city loam [Pre-Chorus] The trombone moans a muted song Wondering where we both belong The slap of the bass keeps pulse alive Just two strangers trying to survive [Chorus] We’re spinning in the same machine Reading lines that we’ve never seen Inherited grief on a dog-eared page Taming the tiger inside the cage Honeyed warmth in a cold-lit room Chasing away the midnight gloom [Bridge] The world is heavy and wide Nowhere left for us to hide Between the rinse and the spin Let the light of spirit in No more sorrow or debt A moment I won't forget Viola swells in the air Finding a peace that is rare [Solo] [Verse] The dryer buzzes, the spell is broken So many things left unspoken You tucked the poems back in your coat Leaving a lump inside my throat The guitar strums a final chord A quiet peace is the reward You walked out to the street light Into the velvet of the night [Chorus] We’re spinning in the same machine Reading lines that we’ve never seen Inherited grief on a dog-eared page Taming the tiger inside the cage Honeyed warmth in a cold-lit room Chasing away the midnight gloom [Post-Chorus] Wash it all away In the pale light of day Let the rhythm play Just stay [Outro]
