lyrics

I would like to die in a manner most polite
at the BPL
tag in the showers
I'm a garbage man, you’re my garbage can

filming while she walks
spewing out her thoughts
on rape and railings
and it all makes sense to me
in some godawful way
the air is running thin
must the children face
the Mumbai garbage haze
even Bombay beach looks like a dump
kids picking at the muck
choking on the fumes that shield the sun
and their plight from god
he can’t tell
cos they’re not dying in a synagogue
but with a rail so low
how could they
stay so near to the endless pit
and not look in?

I get nervous when the freaks go out at night
the door cracks open,
I’m not scared of the dark I’m scared of the light
its an obfuscation
crafted by the creeps who created the craze
this worlds confusing,
because and in spite of this information age

we seem numb
to the pain of being helpless and alone
the muffled moan
of the cuckoo in the depths of the woods

but if I keep reading license plates
I'll spend the rest of my life in a box
until they put me in a box
