Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes life is as bad as it seems
You spend your last five on lotto 'cause it's a license to dream
Lean your head against the window till you make a mist
See a rich lady on her way to her therapist
While you're saving for your psychic, it's as close as you'll get
To someone who will listen while you pay for it
[Verse 2]
Homeless kids gettin' warm in the laundromat
Are havin' a dance party around a baseball cap
[Verse 3]
In my dreams when I fall, there's a trampoline
Bounces me back over the world so green
I never want to ride around a limousine
I only want to get my own Speed Queen
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I fear that there is no escape
Brother's workin' part time at the local vape
Mother's car is held together with duct tape
But don't you worry none, we are doin' great
[Verse 5]
'Cause the president says we're always on his mind
We're a glimmer in his eye as his
Jet plane cuts a white scar across the sky
[Verse 6]
Video lotto blinkin' pink and black
Woman on TV tied to a railroad track
Horse jumping through a velour fence behind the bar
Just like me, I don't think that he'll get that far
And Tony's necklace glimmers like a knock-out punch
He asks me if I'm hungry and he serves me lunch
[Verse 7]
I know that he wants something in exchange
Nothing at this point seems out of range
[Verse 8]
And in my dreams when I fall, there's a trampoline
Bounces me back over the world so green
Never want to ride around a limousine
I only want to get my own Speed Queen
[Verse 9]
Well, the truth will heart for a while, but a lie will hurt for miles
You don't have to give me a break or any forced smiles
Truth is, I don't blame you, I see what you see
If I was betting on the future, I would bet against me
[Verse 10]
I put all my coins in the wrong machine
But one day I will get my own Speed Queen
