Delicate Cycle

[00:09.99] I can take my finger off, old dog, old trick
[00:12.16] New twist like actually take the finger off
[00:14.45] Wrap it in a blanket as you would a severed horse head
[00:16.82] Mail it to a friend you wanna pinky swear more with and
[00:19.16] Should they need a forearm or something they can practice drawing skulls on
[00:21.61] Cut it from the shoulder while the saw's warm
[00:24.15] The full appendage really make a world of difference
[00:26.38] Include it to a 30 teeth to chew out all your critics
[00:28.93] 32 would have been perfect, 2 were casualties of it's it's-
[00:31.44] I always wanted radder things for Christmas
[00:33.26] The rest were cool
[00:34.66] I'm shipping out a torso in the a.m
[00:36.56] You should learn to hit the organs every time at 40 paces - it's important
[00:38.89] I can't explain why now, by the way
[00:41.43] Legs in a crate delivery by today
[00:43.63] If a uniformed man knock knocks, sign his document
[00:45.63] You shouldn't have to walk out to the mailbox for the other shit
[00:48.68] My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school
[00:53.26] She was outside during recess
[00:55.74] She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool
[00:58.26] She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends
[01:02.66] She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them
[01:07.95] And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me
[01:12.75] I'd get to open up the washing machines
[01:15.94] And clean them out and collect the money
[01:18.45] And I'd open soap dispenser and put in little boxes of soap inside
[01:22.24] I knew how it worked and I was good at it
[01:25.65] And helping out filled me with a sense of pride
[01:28.05] I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye
[01:32.44] And I'd say "Hi! Excuse me, but do you mind
[01:35.42] If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?"
[01:38.05] My whole life is a
[01:41.75] (My whole life is a delicate cycle)
[01:43.41] A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[01:58.56] Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head
[02:00.34] They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten
[02:03.05] One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend
[02:05.55] Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen
[02:07.96] When it's a impersonal skill has already poured its best
[02:10.36] A conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt
[02:12.82] And you don't know it, but I know I owe you more than I've kept
[02:15.31] So if you find a biohazard by your door on the step
[02:18.06] Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help
[02:20.55] Wanted to be a larger part than its abnormalcies let
[02:23.26] Hang on, I'm overnighting eyes with a headlight-deer stare
[02:26.09] One up, Vin Vin, UPS and ear pair
[02:28.43] Wear 'em if you need a new perspective on a weird year
[02:31.12] And one day when I'm better we can square away a fair share
[02:33.77] The last frame silhouetted by the sun
[02:35.85] Was an air mail stamp on a still warm tongue
[02:38.87] I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house
[02:42.74] With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out
[02:48.47] Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
[02:53.35] Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry
[02:57.76] And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
[03:02.25] At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
[03:07.15] I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
[03:10.12] The squeaky carts, the vibrations
[03:12.62] The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
[03:14.78] The old pay phone, the giant sink
[03:17.27] I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
[03:19.55] And my heart started with a quarter
[03:22.35] I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
[03:24.44] And my heart started with a quarter
