Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Trash City on party avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
In trash city on a transit line
I put you on hold but you're looking fine
[Verse 2]
In Trash City on party avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
In trash city on a transit line
I put you on hold but you're looking fine
[Verse 3]
When I see your car at the donut house
Wanna see a movie 'bout a creeper on a house
Wanna go bowling, wanna chuck some rocks
Wanna come to my house and change all the locks
[Verse 4]
In Trash City on party avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
In trash city on the transit line
I put you on hold but you're sure looking fine
[Verse 5]
Sing you a song like rubber on a turn
Fifty seven records that you know you ought to burn
Garbage men don't care for the blues or rock 'n' roll
It's 5 O'clock in the morning, in a coffee shop in Seoul
First I got a hot dog in a nightmare zone
Then I vandalized a cheap payphone
Crying to the girls, won't you leave me alone
Making love in graveyard with cockroach bones
In Trash City on party avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
In trash city on the transit line
I put you on hold but you're sure looking fine
[Verse 6]
In Trash City on party avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
In trash city on a transit line
I put you on hold but you're looking fine
First I got a hot dog in a nightmare zone
Then I vandalized a cheap payphone
All the girls cryin', won't you leave me alone
Making love in graveyard with cockroach bones
Got out of transit avenue
I got a girl from Kalamazoo
Down on transit avenue Panama time
To hold to be real fine, one time
