The Garbage Men
James Hamilton Leithauser
All the reeling
City voices
Burn you out but
Tonight I wish that we could join em
Snap the wishbone
Smash the light bulbs
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
Spitting your nails into the pool
Till the garbage men go by
Till the garbage men go by
All the playboys dance
On the black top
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
Till the garbage men go by
Till the garbage men go by
All the emerald shards
On the blacktop
Like the stars in the sunshine
