The song Soap & Water is performed by Suzanne Vega .
Soap and water
Take the day from my hand
Scrub the salt from my stinging skin
Slip me loose of this wedding band
Soap and water
Hang my heart on a line
Scour it down in a wind of sand
Bleach it clean to a vinegar shine
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a headful of bees
You are my little kite
Carried away in a wayward breeze
Soap and water
Wash the year from my life
Straighten all that we trampled and tore
Heal the cut we called husband and wife
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a handful of thorns
You are my little kite
Caught up again in the household storms
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a headful of bees
You are my little kite
Carried away in the wayward breeze
