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
Included too are 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 am
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 new 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 delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is 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 is already poor at 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 Van 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
My whole life is a delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
delicate cycle
My whole life is a delicate cycle
