Punch Brothers - Next To The Trash lyrics

She puts my body away Next to the trash Under the sink Along with all of the cleaning supplies And the things that we buy and decide we don't need Well it's damp and it's dark and it's lonely in here Next to the trash Under the sink But everyone needs some time off now and then 'Cause I'm happy my friends Don't feel sorry for me She says if you're playin' a game I hope you know you won't win it And if you tell me you're next to the trash Well I'll tell you I'm in it Why would you want me to touch you if you know I don't mean it? She's right, I'm mean when I'm bored So I dig through the trash looking for her She can wash herself off In the mist from the pipes We could use more of that around here that's for sure But it seems whoever has thrown her away Has forgotten the trash under the sink Or was it a joke meant to buy her some time? All the citrus and pine make it harder to think So I say if you're playing a game I hope you know you won't win it And I'll be sorry if they threw you away It's just that they didn't She says "Boy, you'd better take it back right now and I mean it" She puts my body away Then chases my mind up to the roof It jumps in the gutter But she pulls it out And it's all part of having a man in the house It jumps in the gutter She pulls it out And it's all part of having a man in the house
