lyrics

The Postman’s been drinking
Saw him crashed outside
Cooper’s bar
It looks like he’s dreaming
His satchel at his side
like a little baby

The waitress makes
me nervous
She mixes bad jokes
with bad service
I think she’s only lonely
She talks about her dog
and she calls me honey

No one singing
songs of Jesus
No one is singing
songs of love
No one is singing
songs of the heartland
Christ you know
they’ve had enough
Now I’m sitting
in an airport bar
Drinking rum and Coke
from a straw
St. Peter
where are you now
Just let me know
when they make
the final call

The milkman’s
been preaching
Saw him shouting
scriptures from
the hood of his car
He looks like
he’s half crazy
But the crate
at his feet
is filled with money

And the light sometimes it shows
