Lyrics Robert Earl Keen – The Vacuum Cleaner Song
Text:
The vacuum cleaner has no name, it has no name
The vacuum cleaner has no name, it has no name
The vacuum cleaner has no name
The vacuum cleaner will remain
Without a name at all
The salmon chair it can’t tell time, it can’t tell time
The salmon chair it can’t tell time, it can’t tell time
The salmon chair it can’t tell time
Still it is a friend of mine
It holds me close, shares my wine
Never lets me fall
The mirror there it makes no sense, it makes no sense
The mirror there it makes no sense, it makes no sense
The mirror there it makes no sense
It turns a frog into a prince
It’s only by coincidence
I’m hangin’ on the wall
This life of mine it goes its way, it goes its way
This life of mine it goes its way, it goes its way
This life of mine it goes its way
It doesn’t hear the things I say
Or else it would be yesterday
Winter would be fall
This life of mine it goes its way
