Track Insight / Lyrics
Coin drops deep in the waiting slot
Machine groans with a diesel cough
Your seabag weighs a heavy lot
Salt crust flakes as the suds rise off
Heavy rinse on a Sunday night
Fluorescent flicker, pale and thin
You trace the drum's slow turning light
Where ocean miles begin again
Quarter slides in the gummed-up slot
Washer kicks with a hydraulic cough
Fatigues spin in a tangled knot
Salt crust dissolves, washes off
Heavy rinse on a Sunday night
Fluorescent flicker, pale and thin
You trace the drum's slow turning light
Where ocean miles begin again
Vinyl seat holds coffee heat
Rain taps out a steady beat
Fatigues fold crisp, a navy feat
Fresh scent rises, sharp and sweet
Heavy rinse on a Sunday night
Fluorescent flicker, pale and thin
You trace the drum's slow turning light
Where ocean miles begin again
Rain still hammers the parking lot
But steam rises from the open door
The salt dissolves in what you've got
Clean sheets wait on the upper floor
Fold the whites with practiced hands
Stack them neat in canvas bands
The laundromat clock understands
Time measured out in wash and strands
Heavy rinse on a Sunday night
Fluorescent flicker, pale and thin
You trace the drum's slow turning light
Where ocean miles begin again
Heavy rinse, you're home again
Spin slow down, the drum goes quiet
Clean and dry, you walk back to it
