The Garbage Men

The Garbage Men - Hamilton Leithauser Lyrics

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 wasYou 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 black top
Like a swarm fliesUp and down
And in and out
The wind is in the magazinesUp and down
Round and round
The rainbow's in the gasoline
Til the garbagemen go by
Til the garbagemen go by
All the emerald shards
On the blacktop
Like the stars in the sunshine
