New twist like actually take the finger off
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Wrap it in a blanket as you would a severed horse head
G+G               D MajorD
Mail it to a friend you wanna pinky swear more with and
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Should they need a forearm or something they can practice drawing skulls on
G+G            D MajorD
Cut it from the shoulder while the saw's warm
A augmentedA             E MajorE
The full appendage really make a world of difference
G+G              D MajorD
Included too are 30 teeth to chew out all your critics
A augmentedA              E MajorE
32 would have been perfect, 2 were casualties of it's it's-
G+G                 D MajorD

Legs in a crate delivery by today
A augmentedA             E MajorE
If a uniformed man knock knocks, sign his document
G+G                   D MajorD
You shouldn't have to walk out to the mailbox for the other shit

My mom was a lunch lady when I was in elementary school
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
She was outside during recess
     G+G             D MajorD
She had a whistle and I thought that that was cool
    A augmentedA       E MajorE            G+G       D MajorD
She was really nice to all the kids who didn't have a lot of friends
      A augmentedA         E MajorE          G+G     D MajorD
She would give them hugs and tell them jokes or she'd play catch with them
     A augmentedA         E MajorE         G+G       D MajorD
And, my dad worked at the laundromat which was really cool to me
      A augmentedA      E MajorE

And clean them out and collect the money
    A augmentedA     E MajorE              G+G       D MajorD
And I'd open soap dispenser and put new little boxes of soap inside
    A augmentedA            E MajorE

And helping out filled me with a sense of pride
    A augmentedA         E MajorE            G+G        D MajorD
I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
And I'd say "Hi! Excuse me, but do you mind
   G+G           D MajorD
If I shine the glass while your clothes dry?"

[Hook: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson] (x4)
A augmentedA    E MajorE
My whole life is a
(My whole life is a delicate cycle)
 G+G         D MajorD
A augmentedA delicate cycle, a delicate cycle

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]
     A augmentedA            E MajorE
Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm with head
       G+G               D MajorD
They said it used to walk upright and like New York after ten
      A augmentedA           E MajorE
One day it woke up out of order, nothing more to extend
G+G           D MajorD
Delicate cycle in the alpha of its orbiting zen
      A augmentedA              E MajorE
When it's a impersonal skill is already poor at its best
  G+G                D MajorD
A augmentedA conversation can be riddled with exorbitant debt
       A augmentedA               E MajorE

     G+G             D MajorD
So if you find a biohazard by your door on the step
     A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Maybe it couldn't find its faculties, but swore it would help
     G+G             D MajorD
Wanted to be a larger part than its abnormalcies let
       A augmentedA            E MajorE
Hang on, I'm overnighting eyes with a headlight-deer stare
G+G        D MajorD
One up, Vin Van, UPS and ear pair
A augmentedA             E MajorE
Wear 'em if you need a new perspective on a weird year
   G+G               D MajorD
And one day when I'm better we can square away a fair share
A augmentedA        E MajorE
The last frame silhouetted by the sun
    G+G          D MajorD
Was an air mail stamp on a still warm tongue

[Verse 4: Kimya Dawson]
A augmentedA    E MajorE        G+G           D MajorD
I was 26 years old the first time I lived in a house
    A augmentedA        E MajorE          G+G        D MajorD
With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out
A augmentedA       E MajorE        G+G         D MajorD
Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
A augmentedA      E MajorE               G+G         D MajorD
Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry
    A augmentedA        E MajorE              G+G    D MajorD
And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
     A augmentedA              E MajorE          G+G       D MajorD
At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
      A augmentedA          E MajorE
I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
  G+G         D MajorD
The squeaky carts, the vibrations
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
  G+G         D MajorD
The old pay phone, the giant sink
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
  G+G        D MajorD
And my heart started with a quarter
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
  G+G        D MajorD
