Lyrics

She's thinner now than she's ever been
A pin point acid laser beam
She's off with a mirror
To breath in half an hour of perfect clarity
She paints a scene that could break the law
Pushing cat hairs round the floor
She's under a willow
Where the sun makes shadows on the paper rocks she breathes
And under the pillow
She hides a list of twenty clever things to be
She'll cast a spell on anyone who thinks she's there
Her phone hides cowering under a magazine
She'll rid the house of every little speck of her
Her fingers dust for evidence
She's cleaning
The stain of guilt stays dark forever
All the way to heaven seventeen miles wide
Dreaming
The life of people half forgiven
Lifts the magic carpet, sweeps her soul inside
See her hide
She's not a fan of her history
Or what her future tries to be
She lives in the middle
And tries to stick the time that ticks before or since
Her answer's a riddle
She won't admit to suffering her father's sins
She'll cast a spell on anyone who thinks she loves
Her heart lies cowering under a skinny shell
She cuts herself from every living photograph
Don't think that smile means anything
She's cleaning
The stain of guilt stays dark forever
All the way to heaven seventeen miles wide
Dreaming
The life of people half forgiven
Lifts the magic carpet, sweeps her soul inside
And if she wasn't working so hard she might
See me cry
And if the drugs weren't making her heart beat so fast she might
Even fly
But she can't
Even try
(Cleaning oooh)
Cleaning
Cleaning
The stain of guilt stays dark forever
All the way to heaven seventeen miles wide
She's dreaming
The life of people half forgiven
Lifts the magic carpet, sweeps her soul inside
She's cleaning
Everything needs cleaning
It's never ending cleaning
