Delicate Cycle by The Uncluded
Delicate Cycle
A E
I can take my finger off, old dog, old trick
G D
New twist like actually take the finger off
A E
Wrap it in a blanket as you would a severed horse head
G D
Mail it to a friend you wanna pinky swear more with and
A E
Should they need a forearm or something they can practice drawing skulls on
G D
Cut it from the shoulder while the saw's warm
A E
The full appendage really make a world of difference
G D
Included too are 30 teeth to chew out all your critics
A E
32 would have been perfect, 2 were casualties of it's it's-
G D
I always wanted radder things for Christmas
A
The rest were cool
E
I'm shipping out a torso in the a.m
G D
You should learn to hit the organs every time at 40 paces -
A
it's important
E
I can't explain why now, by the way
G D
Legs in a crate delivery by today
A E
If a uniformed man knock knocks, sign his document
G D
You shouldn't have to walk out to the mailbox for the other shit
[Verse 2: Kimya Dawson]
A E G D
My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school
A E
She was outside during recess
G D
She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool
A E G D
She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends
A E G D
She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them
A E G D
And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me
A E
I'd get to open up the washing machines
G D
And clean them out and collect the money
A E G D
And I'd open soap dispenser and put new little boxes of soap inside
A E
I knew how it worked and I was good at it
G D
And helping out filled me with a sense of pride
A E G D
I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye
A E
And I'd say "Hi! Excuse me, but do you mind
G D
If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?"
[Hook: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson] (x4)
A E
My whole life is a
(My whole life is a delicate cycle)
G D
A delicate cycle, a delicate cycle
[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]
A E
Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head
G D
They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten
A E
One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend
G D
Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen
A E
When it's a impersonal skill is already poor at its best
G D
A conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt
A E
And you don't know it, but I know I owe you more than I've kept
G D
So if you find a biohazard by your door on the step
A E
Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help
G D
Wanted to be a larger part than its abnormalcies let
A E
Hang on, I'm overnighting eyes with a headlight-deer stare
G D
One up, Vin Van, UPS and ear pair
A E
Wear 'em if you need a new perspective on a weird year
G D
And one day when I'm better we can square away a fair share
A E
The last frame silhouetted by the sun
G D
Was an air mail stamp on a still warm tongue
[Verse 4: Kimya Dawson]
A E G D
I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house
A E G D
With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out
A E G D
Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
A E G D
Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry
A E G D
And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
A E G D
At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
A E
I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
G D
The squeaky carts, the vibrations
A E
The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
G D
The old pay phone, the giant sink
A E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
G D
And my heart started with a quarter
A E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
G D
And my heart started with a quarter
