"The Cleaner" lyrics

"The Cleaner"

I'm the cleaner
All the lights are off when I arrive
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name
Who are these people I don't even know
A faceless hive with a faceless hello
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name
We're so tired and we're so done
I fall asleep to the sound of a gun
I've got a new diet
I'm ahead of the trends
I read the features and in between the lines
And in between the lines
And in between the lines
And in between the lines

They make me do it all and so I clean that shop
I'm the cleaner who gets home whose body drops down
On the floor as you find it there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books
Dancing to rocket pop
I'm a cleaner yes and I can sweep that shop
Real love and real labor in this modern job
And you'll find me there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books

Team leader, team player, I'm the cleaner
Team leader, team player, I'm the cleaner
Come downstairs, I've got a roo out back
Corrosive liquid makes your skin turn black
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name
I'm the cleaner
But you don't even know my name

They make me do it all and so I clean that shop
I'm the cleaner who gets home whose body drops down
On the floor as you find it there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books
Dancing to rocket pop
I'm a cleaner yes and I can sweep that shop
Real love and real labor in this modern job
And you'll find me there with a brush and mop
I dance with DVDs and books

Keep me extra time and keep it working extra hours so I can dance for you
I'm in my favorite shoes, I'm in that sacred blouse and I'll dance
Keep me extra time and keep it working extra hours so I can dance for you
I'm in my favorite shoes, I'm in that sacred blouse and I'll dance

So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance

So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
Keep me extra time
So I can dance
Keep it working extra hours
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
Under my favorite sheets
So I can dance
I'm in that sacred blouse
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
Keep it overtime
So I can dance
Keep it working extra hours
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
So I can dance
Dance, dance, dance!
