we live by the trains
and watch them go by
the noise rattles my plants
but darlin i don't mind
just make your place where you need to
i will follow you close behind
our lights are always
yellow and warm
you know we're a symbol to the travelers
our fridge is always empty
bellies cold
but chin up
there's plenty to be had out there
the earth beneath our feet
has never felt as sweet
than on
this trash day
and who's our audience?
and what's the ambiance?
is this
the cost of living?
i won't preen
i won't pry
i'll sit here on the roof
i'll be sick
i'll be sad
i'll play dead if i need to
and i might
well i might
well i might
and i might
well i might
sometimes
a sacrifice is not what it takes
to keep a family alive
and you can try
for the rest of your life
to find time
but there's some things you'll never fix
on that list
the earth beneath your feet
has never felt as sweet
than on
this trash day
and who's our audience?
and what's the ambiance?
is this
the cost of living?
i won't preen
i won't pry
i'll sit here on the roof
i'll be sick
i'll be sad
i'll play dead if i need to
and i might
well i might
well i might
and i might
well i might
