lyrics

Every Tuesday for two years there was a sign up on the door
Closed for cleaning, back at six, in her own handwriting
And the machines were off and the lights were on for us
And she never once said what that Tuesday actually cost

Closed for cleaning, cleaning, closed for cleaning
Four hours of a working shop a week, for nothing
Closed for cleaning, cleaning, closed for cleaning
And she wrote a lie so we would never have to know

Everyone who has ever helped us has mentioned it since.
Pat put up a sign. That is the whole difference.

Closed for cleaning, cleaning, closed for cleaning
Four hours of a working shop a week, for nothing
Closed for cleaning, cleaning, closed for cleaning
And she wrote a lie so we would never have to know
