[00:01.936][Verse 1: Aesop Rock]
[00:10.185]I can take my finger off, old dog, old trick
[00:11.929]New twist like actually take the finger off
[00:14.427]Wrap it in a blanket as you would a severed horse head
[00:16.930]Mail it to a friend you wanna pinky swear more with and
[00:19.189]Should they need a forearm or something they can practice drawing skulls on
[00:21.941]Cut it from the shoulder while the saw's warm
[00:24.431]The full appendage really make a world of difference
[00:26.447]Included too are 30 teeth to chew out all your critics
[00:28.932]32 would have been perfect, 2 were casualties of it's it's-
[00:31.184]I always wanted radder things for Christmas
[00:33.437]The rest were cool
[00:34.435]I'm shipping out a torso in the a.m
[00:36.447]You should learn to hit the organs every time at 40 paces - it's important
[00:39.184]I can't explain why now, by the way
[00:41.186]Legs in a crate delivery by today
[00:43.427]If a uniformed man knock knocks, sign his document
[00:46.584]You shouldn't have to walk out to the mailbox for the other shit
[00:48.575][Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[00:49.090]My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school
[00:52.593]She was outside during recess
[00:55.094]She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool
[00:57.593]She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends
[01:02.347]She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them
[01:07.346]And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me
[01:12.086]I'd get to open up the washing machines
[01:15.590]And clean them out and collect the money
[01:18.097]And I'd open soap dispenser and put new little boxes of soap inside
[01:22.079]I knew how it worked and I was good at it
[01:26.330]And helping out filled me with a sense of pride
[01:28.333]I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye
[01:31.840]And I'd say "Hi! Excuse me, but do you mind
[01:35.343]If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?"
[01:37.593]Yeah
[01:38.836][Chorus: Kimya Dawson, Aesop Rock, & Both]
[01:39.333]My whole life is a
[01:39.579](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[01:40.582]A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[01:42.839]My whole life is a
[01:45.334](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[01:45.838]A delicate cycle
[01:46.091]My whole life is a
[01:49.831](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[01:52.590]A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[01:55.082]My whole life is a
[01:56.077](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[01:58.578]A delicate cycle
[01:58.828][Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
[01:59.086]Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head
[02:01.079]They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten
[02:02.833]One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend
[02:05.592]Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen
[02:07.584]When interpersonal skill is already poor at its best
[02:10.094]A conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt
[02:12.584]And you don't know it, but I know I owe you more than I've kept
[02:14.582]So if you find a biohazard by your door on the step
[02:18.084]Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help
[02:20.351]Wanted to be a larger part than its abnormalcies let
[02:22.841]Hang on, I'm overnighting eyes with a headlight-deer stare
[02:25.834]One up, Vin Van, UPS an ear pair
[02:28.088]Wear 'em if you need a new perspective on a weird year
[02:30.850]And one day when I'm better we can square away a fair share
[02:32.826]The last frame silhouetted by the sun
[02:36.097]Was an air mail stamp on a still warm tongue
[02:38.343][Pre-Chorus: Kimya Dawson]
[02:38.834]I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house
[02:42.339]With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out
[02:47.081]Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
[02:53.327]Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry
[02:57.086]And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
[03:01.825]At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
[03:06.578]I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
[03:10.088]The squeaky carts, the vibrations
[03:12.086]The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
[03:14.575]The old pay phone, the giant sink
[03:16.329]I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
[03:19.328]And my heart started with a quarter
[03:22.087]I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
[03:24.579]And my heart started with a quarter and
[03:27.091][Chorus: Kimya Dawson, Aesop Rock, & Both]
[03:27.341]My whole life is a
[03:28.590](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[03:30.844]A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[03:31.084]My whole life is a
[03:34.835](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[03:35.335]A delicate cycle
[03:37.578]My whole life is a
[03:39.333](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[03:40.826]A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[03:42.334]My whole life is a
[03:44.085](My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[03:46.082]A delicate cycle
