Elki Spino - Dr. Garbageman Lyrics

Oh, Dr. Garbageman hurts in his head
Wakes up and checks out the things on his phone
That's when the garbageman gets out of bed
And laments starting his day alone
Dr. Garbageman sits in his house
As if waiting for something to change
Searching for reasons for him to go out
Even though leaving his home would feel strange

Very aware that there's more than this
Tired of moping; he's bored of this
But he's scared that he won't find something he prefers
He knows people he wishes he were

Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you do?
Sitting there, nobody's asking for you
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what will it be?
Sit there alone or step outside with me?
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you say?
Do you think it'll work out okay?
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you know?
If you're not happy, you might as well go

Dr. Garbageman picks up his mail
He's forgotten he'd ordered a thing
2-day delivery: it never fails
Opens up what the mail service brings
That surprise is most certain to be
The most interesting part of his day
He knows that this is pathetic and he
Is realizing slowly he isn't okay

Day in and day out, it's always the same
Turned away everybody he's met
He knows that he is the one who's to blame
There may be something new for the garbageman yet

Nothing will change if you don't make a change
Put yourself out there; that's how it begins
Show everybody that you're worth their time
But you have to believe it yourself

Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you do?
Sitting there, nobody's asking for you
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what will it be?
Sit there alone or step outside with me?
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you say?
Do you think it'll work out okay?
Oh Dr. Garbageman, what do you know?
If you're not happy, you might as well go
