After the Colour Fades

(to After the Glitter Fades)
by Lindsey Slayre


Well I never thought it’d make it

In the Laundromat...

I never thought the colour

Would ever stay...

What I seem to wash these days

Has turned bright red...

The colours I seem to want

Well you know they fade away

To wash...it’s the only way

That I’ve ever known

An open machine has only one...

Minute...left

Even though some detergents

Are sometimes spiked with bleach...

Don’t freak...

The texture remains

Even after the colour fades

It’s so rare...an open machine

Is hard to get

We all chase for it

And many people scream

The timeless face of a middle aged

Woman...when her dryer breaks

Oh you know...the people keep coming

Even when they forget the softener

To wash...it’s the only way...

That I’ve ever known

An open machine has only one...

Minute...left

Even though some detergents

Are sometimes spiked with bleach...

Don’t freak...

The texture remains

Even after the colour fades

To wash...it’s the only way

That I’ve ever known

An open machine has only one...

Minute...left

Even though some detergents

Are sometimes spiked with bleach...

Don’t freak...

The texture remains

Even after the colour fades

Oh you know...the texture remains

Even after the colour fades

Oh the texture remains

Even after the colour...fades
