Green Buckets

Clutch · The Elephant Riders [1998]

Won't you come over and stay for a while.

Take a seat, have a drink, we'd have a nice time.

Turn on the TV i believe it's prime time.

I'll make you chicken cacciatore in five.



There's a woman down at 314

Who can't keep the stains on her kitchen floor clean.

And there's a man thats been knocking on his own door for three years,

Or has it been four?

I don't want to spend the winter in this house all alone.

Those neighbors of mine keep coming on over and playing with my mind.



I would like to love you. I shure would treat you right,

We could take the trash out every Thursday night.



Here in my neighborhood there is the strangest thing-

Green buckets every Friday at every driveway.

They're filled with glasses, plastics and newspapers too.

They say they recycle and bring them back to you.



I would like to love you i should would treat you right,

we could take the trash out every Thursday night.

We coud be a fmaily, consume many goods.

We could be the pillars of the neighborhood.



Ah, babe, I'm a real hard worker.

With the proper tools i'll make you anything you yearn for.

The barbarians are at teh gate, come in before it's too late.

I have food enough to last the two of us about a year.

One thousand cans of chowder and one thousand cans of beer.

I love my neighboors like I love my own brothers,

But every year they are getting odder and odder.
