Words and music by Richie Reinholdt

lyrics

Too many nights in the smokehouse station
With the walking wounded crying out for more
Filling their tanks with the same old favorites
Beer-soaked requests stuck to the floor
Too many miles on a one-way ticket Littered with plastic cups of foam
Stone-cold hotties concerned with their hotness
Only equal heat can take them home

Will it all come clean in the wash, hung out on the line
Is there enough soap in the machine to wash away the time?

Compositional word restrictions outshining all other tales of woe
Claiming all the spoils of valor bravehearts stacked up head to toe
Too many street signs pointing at favors expected to fill the empty void
Wrapped securely in layers of denial
And buried deep so it won’t make noise

Harmonic rumblings from the captains’ corner
Saluting visions of glory days
Weeknight warriors from the rank and file
Melodic content drowned in the haze
Steering the ship through bluesman waters
But never quite reaching the port on time
When you begin at the end just to start all over
Chases off all the rest in line

Because a square peg never fits in the round hole
Retelling tales of wonderous deeds
And there’s too much history shaping the image
When the suspects come to the trough to feed
When it comes to leaving or staying too long
Will the wasted masses require goodbyes
From a fading vision of wishful greatness
All of your questions wiil be answered with lies

Will it all come clean in the wash, hung out on the line
Is there enough soap in the machine to wash away the slime?
