A E G D
My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school
A E
She was outside during recess
G D
She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool
A E G D
She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends
A E G D
She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them
A E G D
And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me
A E
I'd get to open up the washing machines
G D
And clean them out and collect the money
A E G D
And I'd open soap dispenser and put new little boxes of soap inside
A E
I knew how it worked and I was good at it
G D

If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?"

My whole life is a
(My whole life is a delicate cycle)
G D
A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
verse 3: Aesop Rock
A E
Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head
G D
They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten
A E
One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend
G D
Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen
A E
When it's a impersonal skill is already poor at its best
G D
A conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt
A E

A E
Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help

The last frame silhouetted by the sun

verse 4: Kimya Dawson
A E G D
I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house
A E G D
With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out
A E G D
Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
A E G D
Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry
A E G D
And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
A E G D
At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
A E
I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
G D
The squeaky carts, the vibrations
A E
The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
G D
The old pay phone, the giant sink
A E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
G D
And my heart started with a quarter
A E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
G D
And my heart started with a quarter
