Garbage Strike

Tell them please don't worry
Promise don't be sorry
We all know you're hurting
There's a smokestack burning again, again
Come on, what's the hurry?
Make the night all blurry again, again

A blackout citywide
Made it easier to hide
But oh, was it true?

That summer there was so much trash
A bloated wet dog epitaph again (again, again, again, again)

All my friends are keeping track
Of when I pay them back
Feels like such a trap
'Cause they're never looking to lend again

And a door I closed
Opened on its own again, again

A familiar street
Alien and record-breaking heat
It brought me to you

A brownstone down on Dover Court
A garbage stripe, a power cord again
The sights we saw made us afraid
Don't be saved
Leave heaven to bright blue jays

Now suddenly I'm back in time
I'm touching you across divides again
The sights we saw made me afraid
Don't be saved
Leave heaven to bright blue jays
