Lyrics

Midnight laundromat, the crew rolls in
Four bags of laundry and a speaker, let's begin
Quarter in the slot, hear the machine wake
Suds in the window like a snow-globe shake
Skye's on the folding table, spinning in a sock
Me on the bench with a beat on the clock
Fluorescent lights buzzing like a stage
Every cycle's a chorus, every load's a page

Drop it in, spin it round
Hear that rumble, feel that sound

Spin cycle, spin cycle, let it run
Midnight laundromat, we're having fun
Clean clothes, clean slate, dance on the tile
Rinse off the week and we do it in style
Spin cycle, spin cycle, hands up high
Bubbles on the glass and a neon sky
Wash it, dry it, fold it right
We're the stars of the laundromat tonight

Old man on the bench taps his foot to the beat
Little kid on the cart with the wheels on repeat
Lady with the basket gives a wink and a clap
We turned the whole place to a block-party lap
One sock missing, it's a mystery
Check the dryer, check the history
Quarter machine's empty, who has change
Everyone chips in, nothing feels strange

Drop it in, spin it round
Hear that rumble, feel that sound

Spin cycle, spin cycle, let it run
Midnight laundromat, we're having fun
Clean clothes, clean slate, dance on the tile
Rinse off the week and we do it in style
Spin cycle, spin cycle, hands up high
Bubbles on the glass and a neon sky
Wash it, dry it, fold it right
We're the stars of the laundromat tonight

Ding, the dryer's done
Warm clothes for everyone
Fold it up, pass it round
Best night in the whole town

Spin cycle, spin cycle, let it run
Midnight laundromat, we're having fun
Clean clothes, clean slate, dance on the tile
Rinse off the week and we do it in style
Spin cycle, spin cycle, hands up high
Bubbles on the glass and a neon sky
Wash it, dry it, fold it right
We're the stars of the laundromat tonight

Spin it, spin it, one more load
Laundromat lights on the midnight road
