Sometimes it’s lying on a beach
Or down an alley out of reach
Trash, I love it

What other people throw away
I try to save for a rainy day
Trash, I love it

You see I wasn’t born with much
‘Cept the Sun and the Moon and such
So I handle it all carefully
Trash is everything to me

The busted strings and ragged ends
The broken things that no one mends
Trash, I love it

The schemes that only last a day
The games I'm just too old to play
Trash, I love it

But when I feel I'm wearing thin
Regretting things that might have been
I settle down quite peaceably
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 fact that gets me through the day
Trash, I love it

It’s not that I don’t understand
But when the great things that I’ve planned
Just get wrecked eventually
Trash, it’s everything to me
