Laundry Room Anthems

Gas-station coffee in a paper cup

Three AM and you're still typing up

In the breakroom under fluorescent glare

Pretending you don't even care

You post a photo from the laundry room

Smelling like

dryer sheets and coming doom

Waiting for the shift to slide away

Clock out, step into the cold night air!

(oh yeah!) We are running but we're almost there

Under the yellow highway beams

We're washing out our heavy dreams!

Your coworker is still online tonight

Staring hard at the screen's pale light

Pretending everything is clean and bright

In the hallway as the morning bites

We clock out (ahhhh) Into the morning light
