"Laundromat Lady" lyrics
"Laundromat Lady"
Sweet, sweet laundromat lady
Why'd this land let you lose your teeth?
So young
'Cause I don't see an apron
Strung gentle around your
Child-worn thighs
Your child-worn thighs
'Cause it's this hot
Hot water
That you're washin' with
That you're washin' with
And it's this hot
Hot water
That we're drownin' in
That we're drownin' in
And we're marchin' two by two by two by two by two by two
Oh, we're marchin' two by two by two by two
And the daughters of the mothers are all cryin'
Oh, the daughters of the mothers are all cryin'
And they're washin' all that blood
They're washin' all that blood
They're washin' the blood
They're washin' all that blood
They're washin' all that blood
'Cause the sons of the daughters are all dyin'
Oh, those sons of the daughters are all dyin'
And we're scrubbin' all the blood
We're scrubbin' all that blood
We're scrubbin' the blood
We're scrubbin' all that blood
We're scrubbin' all that blood
But it's too thick to be bleached white
And the apron's not fittin' right
And the daughters of the mothers are all cryin'
Oh, the daughters of the mothers are all cryin'
And you're drivin' all your pickup trucks
You're drivin' all your pickup trucks
You're drivin' all those pickup trucks
But the beds along the back are never big enough
Oh, those beds along the back are never big enough
'Cause the sons of the daughters are all dyin'
Oh, the sons of the daughters are all dyin'
And sweet, sweet laundromat lady
How'd this land let you lose your teeth?
So young
'Cause this land is your land
Oh, this land is my land
This land is your land
Oh, this land is my land
This land is your land
This land is my land, oh
Oh

Aldous Harding - "Imagining My Man" I'm going to answer, protecting
It can be so hard to forgive
It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man
You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics...
Ane Brun - "All My Tears" When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will...
Hand Habits - "The Answer" Drink the mist
My body, a question that hangs on her lips
I know the answer
The answer- it's always mine
I know the answer
The answer- here's what I hope to find
It's always mine
But oh, how many...
Devendra Banhart - "Mi Negrita" Mi amor no tiene esperanza
Aunque te esperará
Mi corazón se alanza
Un fantasma corpo real
Mi amor no tiene venganza
Aunque te matara
Este viejo no se cansa
Siempre te perseguirá
Así que
Fe y amor,...
