The Bed Bugs - Washer 'N Dryer Blues Lyrics

I've been doin' all my chores
Just to find
But all I can hear is that damn sound
Shakin' all night

Been really wantin' to let go
But I
Can't forsake the fortune of fifty filthy kings
Or you, or I

Cuz it's not you, it's not me
It's everything we were born into here

And I'd sing this melody
In hopes you'd come out your window to see
My eyes, all tired and starlit tonight
Alit only for you here in these darkest of nights

But lo, I'd turn the table and tap atop the patina
A helpless tune for you
And though my tongue is a wretched sponge and sticks to my lungs
All I know is that the fight is never won
