[Verse 1] I drag it slow Across the hall Brown little crumbs By the baseboard wall The fibers wake Under my feet Milk-ring ghosts And old spilled sweet [Pre-Chorus] Bags full of yesterday Pulling the dark away One pass, then another I’m getting close, getting close [Chorus] Vacuum that dirty carpet Vacuum that dirty carpet Spin it clean, spin it clean Vacuum that dirty carpet Spin it clean, spin it clean Vacuum that dirty carpet (burn it out, burn it out) [Verse 2] The couch got crumbs The rug got grit One lost earring And a paper clip The line shows up Like a fresh-cut seam Gray turns gold In the afternoon beam [Pre-Chorus] Bags full of yesterday Pulling the dark away One pass, then another I’m getting close, getting close [Chorus] Vacuum that dirty carpet Vacuum that dirty carpet Spin it clean, spin it clean Vacuum that dirty carpet (burn it out, burn it out) [Bridge] See that corner? I get that stain Hard little circles Then it fades again I take my time I don’t let it win When the floor looks new I can breathe again [Chorus] Vacuum that dirty carpet Vacuum that dirty carpet Spin it clean, spin it clean Vacuum that dirty carpet (burn it out, burn it out)
