Washing Machine Lyrics

she walked to the park in the dark

her best friend was her own heart beat

with every little step she'd take

she'd get one step closer to leaving

sitting in her kitchen at night

she listened to her washing machine

just wishing that she could leave

but there were so many loads to clean

she could hear it in her head sometimes

like the change that she keeps saving in a jar

the chains on the front porch swing

were creaking like steps in the dark

one day soon this is all gonna end

one day soon maybe it'll all begin

she took from him all the time

he was the best she'd ever seen

oh he was stomping up and down the hall

but she could still hear her washing machine

she could hear it in her head sometimes

like the change that she keeps saving in a jar

the chains on the front porch swing

were creaking like steps in the dark

one day soon this is all gonna end

one day soon maybe it'll all begin

what a fine man

fine man for me

a little too much for me

for me and my washing machine
