The Garbage Men Songtext
von Hamilton Leithauser

All the reeling
City voices
Burn you out but
Tonight I wish that we could join ′em
Snap the wishbone
Smash the lightbulbs
And when you kiss me
I'll be the man I always was

You say, I′ll find a job
That's right, laughing like you do
Chewing your fingers to the bone
And spitting your nails into the pool


'Til the garbage men go by
′Til the garbage men go by
All the playboys dance on the blacktop
Like a swarm of flies

Up and down
And in and out
The wind is in the magazines
Up and down
′Round and 'round
The rainbow′s in the gasoline

'Til the garbage men go by
′Til the garbage men go by
All the emerald shards on the blacktop
Like stars in the sunshine
