about

Ridiculous observation about a Goth couple doing laundry. Because I forgot the words when we recorded it, the second verse turns them into a gay couple (they weren't).

Fairly hilarious.

lyrics

I really don't mind hanging at the lavanderia
Here in Silver Lake you never know who you'll see there
The manager is fixing all the coin slots with pliers
And making sure the homeless don't steal from the dryers

I'm watching the Goths do laundry
Got no fabric softener on me
I'm watching the Goth do laundry
All their clothes are black


He's got a Bauhaus T shirt on, it's under his leather
His says Alien Sex Fiend, guess that's why they're together
He kinda smells like burning sage, I gotta say it's nice
And he peruses an old novel written by Anne Rice

I'm watching the Goths do laundry
California sunshine has made them balmy, no bleach in their sacks

Folding up their gear
Like busy magpies
While me and the Mexican ladies
Watch our rags dry
God forbid an item that's dark brown
Here in what used to be the poor side of town.

She's scrubbing out a stain or two from last night's marinara
But doesn't mind the pillow case
Caked from their mascara
Hauling out the weekly wash in duffel bags and sacks
And stomping back to Benton Way
In boots out of "Mad Max".

I'm watching the Goths do laundry
I'm watching the Goths do laundry
Like Don Henley, they got dirty laundry
None of his is black
I'm assuming that
I'm watching the Goths do laundry
I'm watching the Goths do laundry
Matching colors isn't a quandary
Everything is black
Drenched in candle wax
Into Dead Can Dance
So decadent
Wonder where they went

Ain't seen em around
