Lyrics

It's the night before trash day
Here in the universe
And quietly I walk, can to can
Hoping my luck will reverse

My soul is in need of something
That's not all under one roof
In the dumpster behind all the churches
I look for a morsel of truth

(Chorus)
Cause trash day is my holy day
I feed my soul what they throw away
In my spiritual transformation
One man's trash is another's salvation

(Refrain)
You can learn alot about people
By the things they reject
Philosophies, opinions and their dreams
Are all out here for me to inspect
So I give 'em a spin for what it's worth
Maybe some of it will work for me
If so it goes in my odd collection
If not it goes back on the street

They say all paths lead to God
And I say that's a relief
Cause my trash can lined path to Heaven
Is far from the standard belief

(Chorus)
Cause trash day is my holy day
I feed my soul what they throw away
In my spiritual transformation
One man's trash is another's salvation

(Chorus)
Cause trash day is my holy day
I feed my soul what they throw away
In my spiritual transformation
One man's trash is another's salvation
