MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse 1]
The other day I saw you at the laundromat at Frankford and Magee
With a bag of dirty laundry like the baggage that just seemed to come with me
The only difference being you could wait there by that ancient soap machine
And for a couple pennies you could make all of your dirty laundry clean

[Chorus]
So take my soul and drop it in, but you won't wash away my sins

[Verse 2]
Well I just turned and took a walk and I heard the talk on Frankford Avenue
And I stopped into a corner bar the one I used to get drunk in with you
And suddenly I recalled with an intensity that almost seemed profound
All those things you meant to me and suddenly I wanted you around

[Chorus]
And two streets up and one street back, your dirty laundry's all been packed
And I don't know
If I am right or I am wrong, yeah,
I don't know
If I have waited far too long, well
I don't know
If I could make you happy now, I don't know
Nobody ever showed me how

[Verse 3]
Well I'm sitting here with ice cold beer and I'm drinking like the desperate people do
And it's 1 PM and I'm with them and so I guess that I'm just desperate too
Desperate for a chance to make it better and to make it up to you
Without a dime I am resigned to wasting time on Frankford Avenue

[Chorus]
And out of sight and out of mind, like so much laundry on your line
And I don't know
If I am right or I am wrong, yeah,
I don't know
If I have waited for too long, well,
I don't know
If I could make you happy now, I just don't know
Nobody ever showed me how

[Outro]
How to love and how to give
And how to share some kind of life,
some kind of life you'd want to live

[Verse 4]
Well I walked back to the laundromat and I pushed my face right up against the pane
And you were by the coin dispenser, you were trying to get yourself some change
Yeah, change is what I need but I don't think that I got much of what it takes
'Cause I've made too many enemies and I've just made too many mistakes
Two streets up and one street back, your life is more or less intact
And I don't know
If I could make it on my own, yeah,
I don't know
If you're the one I should take home, well,
I don't know
If I could make you happy now, I just don't know
Nobody ever showed me how
And two streets up and one street back
You ain't never coming back
Two streets up and one street back
You ain't never coming back
Two streets up and one street back
Your life is more or less intact, yeah, but I don't know
If I could make you happy now, I don't know
If I could make you happy now, I don't know
