The Five-Gallon Pails (South Algoma Cleanup)
Space play · ←→ seek · ↑↓ volume
[Verse 1] Got a call from a realtor in the middle of November House on South Algoma, gonna need a strong stomach Cash under the table, keys in a envelope Squatters moved out, left the whole place toxic [Verse 2] Heat's been cut since October, pipes froze and burst Garbage bags stacked like insulation in the hall Five-gallon buckets sitting behind every closed door Lids on tight but that don't contain it at all [Chorus] Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level [Verse 3] Drywall mud buckets repurposed for a terrible thing Label worn off but my nose knows the truth Knees ain't what they were getting up and down the stairs Seventy pounds of bad decisions down to the truck [Chorus] Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level [Bridge] Somebody lived here, somebody's gotta clear it Massimo needs new strings for the Fender he plays Dignity in labor but this ain't for the spotlight Sixty-eight years old and I'm counting the days [Chorus] Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level Don't trust the bucket with the liquid brown and still Better hold it level [Outro] Walk it steady to the truck now...
