Careless in our summer clothes, splashing around in the muck and the mire
Fell asleep with stains, caked deep in the knees (what a pain)
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes
All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors
All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the whites wh-whites of your eyes
