I can take my finger off, old dog, old trick |
|
New twist like actually take the finger off |
|
Wrap it in a blanket as you would a severed horse head |
|
Mail it to a friend you wanna pinky swear more with and |
|
Should they need a forearm or something they can practice drawing skulls on |
|
Cut it from the shoulder while the saw's warm |
|
The full appendage really make a world of difference |
|
Include it to a 30 teeth to chew out all your critics |
|
32 would have been perfect, 2 were casualties of it's it's- |
|
I always wanted radder things for Christmas |
|
The rest were cool |
|
I'm shipping out a torso in the a.m |
|
You should learn to hit the organs every time at 40 paces - it's important |
|
I can't explain why now, by the way |
|
Legs in a crate delivery by today |
|
If a uniformed man knock knocks, sign his document |
|
You shouldn't have to walk out to the mailbox for the other shit |
|
My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school |
|
She was outside during recess |
|
She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool |
|
She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends |
|
She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them |
|
And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me |
|
I'd get to open up the washing machines |
|
And clean them out and collect the money |
|
And I'd open soap dispenser and put in little boxes of soap inside |
|
I knew how it worked and I was good at it |
|
And helping out filled me with a sense of pride |
|
I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye |
|
And I'd say \"Hi! Excuse me, but do you mind |
|
If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?\" |
|
My whole life is a |
|
(My whole life is a delicate cycle) |
|
A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle |
|
Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head |
|
They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten |
|
One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend |
|
Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen |
|
When it's a impersonal skill has already poured its best |
|
A conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt |
|
And you don't know it, but I know I owe you more than I've kept |
|
So if you find a biohazard by your door on the step |
|
Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help |
|
Wanted to be a larger part than its abnormalcies let |
|
Hang on, I'm overnighting eyes with a headlight-deer stare |
|
One up, Vin Vin, UPS and ear pair |
|
Wear 'em if you need a new perspective on a weird year |
|
And one day when I'm better we can square away a fair share |
|
The last frame silhouetted by the sun |
|
Was an air mail stamp on a still warm tongue |
|
I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house |
|
With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out |
|
Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from |
|
Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry |
|
And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities |
|
At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave |
|
I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust |
|
The squeaky carts, the vibrations |
|
The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets |
|
The old pay phone, the giant sink |
|
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor |
|
And my heart started with a quarter |
|
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor |

And my heart started with a quarter |
