When the only light you see is the moon It's recycling day and I'm in the mood Metallic sounds, my signature tune In your neighborhood, I will intrude I got a filthy mind, I'm a businessman I check out your box as fast as I can I got a scrap aluminum caravan Got my hands on your recycled cans I got my hands on your recycled cans Out from the bushes, popped a cop He said the peace I did disturb Politely explained that I have to stop So I hit him with mahh spring reverb - look out! I got a filthy mind, I'm a businessman I check out your box as fast as I can Got a scrap aluminum caravan Got my hands on your recycled cans I got my hands on your recycled cans - oh yeah! A hey hey hey! Huh - look out! I got a filthy mind, I'm a businessman I check out your box as fast as I can Got a scrap aluminum caravan Got my hands on your recycled cans I got my hands on your recycled cans - recycled cans Whuah! Look Out!

It's Saturday night at last Dreaming about you and the trash of the past I thought about garbage while the radio played Should've got moving, some reason I stayed Thought about garbage and it made me smile Falling off this emotional junk pile And nothing there could bring me back No nothing there could bring me back I'm riding a garbage highway Nothing's gonna bring me back. No way. Took a ride and went to the dump moldy onions and a rotten stump All the rubbish that we used to know And all the places we used to go I run on garbage, jump and crouch Find a spot on a soiled couch And nothing there could bring me back No nothing there could bring me back I'm riding a garbage highway I'm riding a garbage highway Nothing's gonna bring me back. No way. I thought of garbage and it made me smile falling off this emotional junk pile Nothing there could bring me back No nothing there could bring me back I'm riding a garbage highway I'm riding a garbage highway Nothing's gonna bring me back. No way. Nothing's gonna bring me back. No way.

Have you ever been so tense So long you couldn't cry Overwhelmed with the expense Did you fay-all to comply Did you fay-all to comply Were you a hopeless introvert Why dint you show those guys The ways in which you hurt Prisoners on a ship of love And it was wrecked by the patrol The ones they want to get rid of And it was wrecked by the patrol Prisoners on a ship of love And it was wrecked by the patrol The ones they want to get rid of And it was wrecked by the patrol The ways in which you hurt The ways in which you hurt Why won't you show us The ways in which you hurt Have you always been alone Did you think it wouldn't end Did you expect us to believe Did you expect to lose a friend Do you still get up each day Jogging pants and dirty shirt Why won't you show us The ways in which you hurt Prisoners on a ship of love And it was wrecked by the patrol The ones they want to get rid of And it was wrecked by the patrol Prisoners on a ship of love And it was wrecked by the patrol The ones they want to get rid of And it was wrecked by the patrol Wrecked by the patrol Wrecked by the patrol

(Slow down...) Ran down to sector one Found an exterior port Dark and deep against the sun A system smashed support My rocket garbage truck Returning from the stars To dump out all this stuff From Jupiter and Mars Jupiter and Mars I'm feeling mild impatience Exasperation and frustration From avoiding deviation A problem at this elevation A speaker saying syllables That don't mean nothing at all Sounds analytical And very comfortable My rocket garbage truck Returning from the stars To dump out all this stuff From Jupiter and Mars Jupiter and Mars (space instrumental & repeat chorus)

Just be stupid and be stupid and be stupid and be stupid No one will know (doot do do doot do do) Don't let it show - let's go (doot do do doot do do) Don't read a book Don't go to school Thick as a brick Cool as a fool Mention a thing You saw on TV Now you're the king Cos you got the key Just be stupid and be stupid and be stupid and be stupid No one will know (doot do do doot do do) Don't let it show - let's go (doot do do doot do do) Do a film quote Reference a meme Fun anecdote American dream If you can repeat This rule of thumb People you meet Won't know you're dumb Just be stupid and be stupid and be stupid and be stupid No one will know (doot do do doot do do) No one will know (doot do do doot do do) No one will know (doot do do doot do do) No one will know (doot do do doot do do) And be stupid and be stupid ...

Shadow Copy 02:12
Through the alleyway I heard she was strollin' Sneaking around squeezing straight through a hole in My black back-pack to Get It On like Mark Bolan Lost my mind when I found out my cookies got stolen She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy I'm drinking my coffee She chewed through my pack Now she's stealing my snack You kicked the ladder out from under my feet Eating ginger snaps and watching Sesame Street But I ain't made of rubber, I'm made of real meat A red poison berry who won't suffer defeat She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy I'm drinking my coffee She chewed through my pack Now she's stealing my snack Wastebasket expert with a big sweet tooth She squeaks and she sneaks like she's R2D2 Plastic food wrappers that she likes to unwrap Someday she's gonna find herself caught in a trap She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy I'm drinking my coffee She chewed through my pack Now she's stealing my snack She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy She's a shadow copy I'm drinking my coffee She chewed through my pack Now she's stealing my snack

Gotta take that sunset ride Drive directly at the sun Can't make you young inside But least you'll have some fun Drive directly at the sun Drive directly at the sun She cried bingo the night before They took away her keys She's staring at the TV set Blanket on her knees Gotta take that sunset ride Drive directly at the sun Can't make you young inside But least you'll have some fun Drive directly at the sun Drive directly at the sun Suddenly the doorbell rings A kind old man inquires Something shiny and electric A chair with four grey tires She's wild on the streets Boredom she defeats She's behind the wheel Listen to the tires squeeeeeeeal (solo) The man returns to his garage Working hard on junk Turns it into something good Throws it in his trunk Gotta take that sunset ride Drive directly at the sun Can't make you young inside But least you'll have some fun Drive directly at the sun Drive directly at the sun Gotta take that sunset ride Drive directly at the sun Can't make you young inside But least you'll have some fun Drive directly at the sun Drive directly at the sun

A poorly rendered effigy Don't look like what's s'posed to be And it's burning up It's burning up Psychotic overkill Life is hard on Pecker Hill And he's learning it He's learning it Midnight marauder Drink that fire water Your cover's blown Better leave my dogs alone Midnight marauder Terrorize my daughter Fingers on my phone Stay out of my zone Your girlfriend's said to be A vodka cooler devotee And she's drinking up She's drinking up Don't you cross my welcome mat Teach you good with a baseball bat And it's coming up It's coming up Midnight marauder Drink that fire water Your cover's blown Better leave my dogs alone Midnight marauder Terrorize my daughter Fingers on my phone Stay out of my zone Got my fingers Got my fingers on my phone Better stay out Better stay out of my zone Midnight marauder Drink that fire water Your cover's blown Better leave my dogs alone Midnight marauder Terrorize my daughter Fingers on my phone Stay out of my zone
