lyrics

Jutting out six feet on the sidewalk sleeping in a bag
Under the awning, holding a cup and staring blankly into space
Standing on the corner waving and screaming like a hag
Under the overpasses and on the riverside where you can make a place

Scribbling down today's narrative on a piece of corrugated
Can't remember if this is the real one
What's the matter with deception when your next meal isn't promised?

I run around all day collecting cans
And eating other people's trash
I really like this neighborhood but I can't stick around
There's always bound to be a backlash

Dragging along a basket cart
And a pile of acquired things
They are all worthless but to me
Hanging onto the last shred of my former being

I run around all day collecting cans
And eating other people's trash
I really like this neighborhood but I can't stick around
There's always bound to be a backlash

Stumbling through city blocks and staring into headlights, I'm still
Singing at the top of my lungs and spicing up the charming nightlife
I don't even wanna leave this behind anymore
I'll let it kill the mundanity that dulled my life before
