  • It's a beautiful morning
    The sky is black as ink
    The city's sleeping still
    And soon they'll wake up
    To the stink

    And soon they'll wake up
    To the stink of life passing them by
    Wake up and smell the stink of their lives

    The garbage trucks are coming
    To take your shit to the dump
    You're smelling pretty now
    Such a pretty little lump
    A pretty little lump of flesh
    Who's lost you way
    Another night another day

    And when you sleep at night
    Dreaming of the pretty things
    Don't be too surprised
    When the telephone rings

    I'll be sitting here
    Waiting for the other shoe to drop
    I'll be sitting here
    Waiting for the other shoe to drop Writer/s: MARK O. EVERETT
