that's your mom, that's your dad, and that's the house that you once had
dig that car sittin' in the drive - you'd all pile in and go for a ride
normal like a setting on a washing machine
normal like a norman rockwell american dream...
your mother drank, your dad took drugs
so you did too - it was your first love
the marriage failed and true love died
you laughed it off 'cause boys don't cry
normal like a setting on a washing machine
normal when christmas felt like halloween
when a family explodes and the universe cracks
you can run away but you crawl right back
either way we all must learn
you can't start a fire without something to burn
normal like a setting on a washing machine
normal we go in dirty we come out clean
that's your wife these are your kids
and this is the house where you all live
that's your car sittin' in the drive
lets all pile in and go for a ride
normal like a setting on a washing machine
when history repeats the scene
normal like a setting on a washing machine
normal we go in dirty we come out clean
