Dry Clothes Lyrics

There's A knapsack Rally for the stranger who told of a spider, and a purple toad.

The things I heard were wretched and slurred. Oh my ears would be cut off at mention,

But you don't have to cut it off.
Just give it some time. Your baby boy, he only naps.

So mother bug don't you bite your tounge because there's nothing else to do for your son.

He rose the dead. He's been sharing his bed with the only one he never loved.

So why should you cry for the licence plate of a colder state?

Should you talk of the son on the run, your tongue will be ripped out by ducklings.

Oh, you don't have to cut it off.
Just give it some time. Your baby boy, he only naps.

I only feel like living when I fell like I'm dying. Your baby boy, he only naps.

Well Missy, sure you can look through my drawers. I've got nothing to hide. So, crying soul don't you tally the toll because where's the love in counting?

Dry clothes.

ESOTERIC AND crazy, but that guitar sounds exactly like happiness.

lol well said.. its a really well placed track too.. straight after brother. Excellent..

Crazy good production too. If you have a good set of headphones whack 'Sway' on at a good volume and you'l agree!

a_postcard makes a good point... the line "So why should you cry for the licence plate of a colder state?" ties in with this theory i think.. Could hinting at suspicion building in the relationship?

Annuals are pretty west.. i think they like the ganja.. fo sho!

I hear "sharing his bed with the only one he never lost." Lost, not loved.

I get the impression that this song is about an affair, or an alleged affair. In the last paragraph, when the girl is looking through his drawers for clothes that aren't dry, soiled perhaps, he seems to take offense with "where's the love in counting dry clothes?" It seems he's hurt that she mistrusts him.

Whether for good reason, or as a defense mechanism, I don't know.

I also get the impression that the author feels trapped. He feels the need to get out of his current situation. Be it the location, or people; his surroundings.
