Monster in the Trash Can
Unknown Artist

Verse 1:
Taking out the trash, on a Friday night,
Just another chore under the pale streetlight,
But from the bin there came such a noise,
A shuffling, a growl, it killed my poise.

Pre-Chorus:
My heart beat faster, couldn't understand,
What kind of beast lies within this can?

Chorus:
There's a monster in the trash can, oh my god!
Didn't think I'd see the day, it's so odd!
Kick it down the hill, send it away,
Before it gets to me, oh I must sway.

Verse 2:
I kicked the can with all my might,
It rolled down the hill, out of sight,
But the monster inside, I heard it cry,
As it tumbled and bounced, oh how it could fly.

Pre-Chorus:
My fear turned into a slight regret,
What if it's harmless, an innocent pet?

Chorus:
There's a monster in the trash can, oh my god!
Didn't think I'd see the day, it's so odd!
Kick it down the hill, send it away,
Before it gets to me, oh I must sway.

Bridge:
Down the road, it rolled and rolled,
With every bounce, the story told,
Till it reached the edge, couldn't catch a breath,
Over the cliff, it fell to its death.

Monster's Verse:
In the dark, I tried to hide,
Just a lonely creature wanting to survive,
I didn't mean to scare or cause alarm,
Just seeking warmth, not to do harm.

Verse 3:
With the can now gone, the street was clear,
But a feeling of sorrow, lingered near,
Did I act too fast, did I misread?
Or was it a monster, filled with greed?

Chorus:
There's a monster in the trash can, oh my god!
Didn't think I'd see the day, it's so odd!
Kick it down the hill, send it away,
Before it gets to me, oh I must sway.

Outro:
Let this be a lesson to us all,
In the face of fear, decide with care,
For what's monstrous may just be small,
And in our rush, we might unfairly bare.
