In Trash City on Party Avenue

I got a girl from Kalamazoo

In Trash City on a transit line

I put you on hold but you're looking fine

In Trash City on Party Avenue

I got a girl from kalamazoo

In Trash City on a transit line

I put you on hold but you're looking fine

When I see your car at the donut house

Wanna see a movie 'bout a creeper on the house

Wanna go bowling wanna chuck some rocks

Wanna come to my house and change all the locks

In Trash City on Party Avenue

I got a girl from Kalamazoo

In Trash City on a transit line

I put you on hold but you're sure looking fine

Sing you a song like rubber on a turn

Fifty-seven records that you know you ought to burn

Garbagemen don't care for the blues or rock n' roll

It's five o'clock in the morning in a coffee shop in Seoul

First I got a hot dog in a nightmare zone

Then I vandalize a cheap payphone

Crying to the girls won't you leave me alone

Makin' love in the graveyard with cockroach bones

In Trash City on Party Avenue

I got a girl from Kalamazoo

In Trash City on a transit line

I put you on hold but you sure look fine

First I got a hot dog in a nightmare zone

Then I vandalize a cheap payphone

Cryin' to the girls won't you leave me alone

Ain't makin' love with cockroach bones

Down on transit avenue

I got a girl from Kalamazoo

Down on Transit Avenue Panama Time

To hold to be real fine

One time!
