Receipt for Heartbeats

Left your denim jacket in the spin cycle Smelling sweet

like fresh dryer sheets

And you kept the paper receipt

For absolutely no reason at all

Static cling under fluorescent tubes

Glowing like a CRT screen In our old living room playing 8-bit

games We are frozen in that digital light

Oh, we're tumbling in the warm light

Spinning round like a lost design

(yeah) Keep the receipt,

but leave the coat tonight

We're just playing for another high score

Quarter slot is empty,

laundry's done But we linger in

the warm detergent air

You're still clutching that folded paper slip

Like it holds the secret of our retro flare

Oh, we're tumbling in the warm light

Spinning round like a lost design (ooh-yeah) Keep the receipt,

but leave the coat tonight

We're just playing for another high score

Just a CRT glow (spin it round)

Keep the receipt
