THE COLOURS IN CITIES
GET TENSER WHEN THE DARK CREEPS IN
NIGHT HOLDS OUT LONG FINGERS
DARK POLISHED, DEEP FINGERPRINTS
IF I COULD SAY NO, SAY NO
TO THE GARBAGE MAN
IF I COULD SAY NO, SAY NO
IT'S TRASH IN A CAN, TRASH IN A CAN
THERE'S VISION IN SMALL THINGS
I KNOW IT BUT MY LOOK IS TOO WIDE
I LOOK AT MY FINGERS
WHITE KNUCKLES THAT DON'T SEEM TO BE MINE
IF I COULD SAY NO, SAY NO
TO THE GARBAGE MAN
IF I COULD SAY NO, SAY NO
IT'S TRASH IN A CAN, TRASH IN A CAN
IF I COULD LET IT GO, LET IT GO
NEED NO GARBAGE MAN
IF I COULD SAY NO, SAY NO
IT'S TRASH IN A CAN
TRASH IN A CAN
I'LL TRY 'TILL I CAN
TRY 'TILL I CAN
