Spinning

the tumbling of the washer Is the only sound I can focus on I'm watching my clothes spin and spin and spin

My servants all watched me I can feel their empty stares But I don't care I just need a distraction From the chasm inside of me

Little history lesson on washing machines: in the mid 1700's the classic washer thing you see in the Little Mermaid was invented and then it evolved to an electric one by the time of the Great Gatsby, and since Gatsby is rich as heck, obviously he'd have one.
