Cold on the left, empty on the right
Empty on the right
Been through a hundred cycles of the dark night
Agitated turning, spinning my soul out
Spinning my soul out
No one knows the way I feel or what this is about
I saw you last in the bright light of the sun
Now I'm just a cotton ghost when the washing is done
Is it the dryer's fire or the lint trap's grip?
I'm losing my mind on this polyester trip
This polyester trip
I'm missing my mate, halfway to whole
You were the lining, the heart and the soul
Left in the hamper, tangled and gray
I'm just a fragment since you went away
I'm just a fragment since you went away
Come back to the pair that we used to be Locked in the drawer for eternity
Locked in the drawer for eternity
I checked the abyss behind the humming machine
Behind the machine
Saw things in the shadows that shouldn't be seen
Buttons and coins and a year of lost time
A year of lost time
But finding you, baby, would be the only crime
I'm rolling my edges, yeah
Ooh I'm rolling my edges, curling in the cold
This thread is getting brittle, I'm feeling so old
Will I find you in the mountain of the clean and the dry?
Or am I destined to be single 'til the day that I fray?
'Til the day that I fray
I'm missing my mate, halfway to whole
You were the lining, the heart and the soul
Left in the hamper, tangled and gray
I'm just a fragment since you went away
I'm just a fragment since you went away
Come back to the pair that we used to be
Locked in the drawer for eternity
Locked in the drawer for eternity
Hey, I can't breathe without your cotton touching mine
Lost in the spin, just waiting for a sign
Are you with the towels?
Are you with the jeans?
Oh, you're the only rhythm in my lonely machines
I'm losing my elastic, I'm falling apart
You're the left sock to my right heart
Still searching, baby
Searching
Just a single wandering soul
Are you under the bed?
Call me when you find the light I'm right here, wait for me
Wait for me
Lost in the spin, so lonely
