At the laundromat
Marlon loads his clothes
and keeps talking
until a teenage kid
makes Marlon stop talking,
makes Marlon give him money
until the kid takes off.

"just don't trust him
can't trust him
just bought a new guitar
a two hundred dollar guitar
now he's got three guitars
can't pay bills
can't play guitar neither"

Marlon balls up his shirts
all gigantic, all piled up.
He gets to a pink Nylon coat
with yello and purple stripes
and tries it on
but it's too small
and gets balled with the rest.

"just don't trust him
can't trust him
can't trust her neither
she took my quarters
right off my desk
right into her pocket book
her them all clankin"

When that pile is finished
there's another on the floor
and another after that
"yep
one of these days
I'm gonna go
he don't care, she don't care
and i don't care much neither"
