Garbage Cans

I watch my neighbors next door

The Mr. and Mrs. at war

He lost his arm back in Nam

And they both drink like fish

They used to swap fluids at night

But now all they swap is a 911 fight

And fading plastic garbage cans

Waiting for the garbage man

To all the junk I?m waving goodbye

Fading plastic garbage cans

Full of things that lost their relevance

I wonder if there?s treasure inside?

The flies have made friends on the curb

Just like their buddy dead bird

Cancel the picnic the love nest is swarming with bees

Their yelling is at razors edge

Suddenly silence the lights have gone dead

Fading plastic garbage cans

Waiting for the garbage man

To all the junk I?m waving goodbye

Fading plastic garbage cans

Full of things that lost their relevance

I wonder if there?s treasure inside?

For days it?s been quiet

I only see Mr. Neighbor

And garbage day?s here now

I wonder where the Mrs. could be?

They used to swap fluids at night

But now all they swap is a 911 fight

Fading plastic garbage cans

Waiting for the garbage man

To all the junk I?m waving goodbye

Fading plastic garbage cans

Full of things that lost their relevance

I wonder if there?s treasure inside?

Garbage cans, garbage man

Garbage garbage garbage garbage cans

Is there treasure inside?
