TRASH


Sometimes it’s lying on the beach
Or down an alley at a reach
Just trash, I love it
Whatever people throw away
I try to save for a rainy day
Just trash, I love it

You see, I wasn’t born with much
Except the sun and moon and such
So I live a little, carefully
Trash is everything to me

The bus’s strings and ragged ends
The broken things that no one mends
Just trash, I love it
The schemes that only last a day
The things are just too old to play
Just trash, I love it

But when my feet are wearing thin
We grab the things that should have been
And I settle down quite peace-a-fully
Trash is everything to me

Sometimes I think I’d like to fly
Touch a star or reach the sky
Trash, I love it
But every dream that slips away
The thing that gets me through the day
Is trash, I love it

It’s not that I don’t understand
But when the great things that I plan
Just get wrecked eventually
Trash means everything to me
