The Postman
01:33
|

|
All I have is the postman
Coming in and out of my life
He’s far better than most men
Who kiss the ring
Before they blow out the light
What I said was just a joke
I send
You go
I send
And you go
Away
This is not a prayer
And these aren’t the answers
This is one man’s life
I have close-captioned nightmares
And it rains on her birthday
And this is my life
And it’s all just going to be
Another song
Make sure what I send
Is gone

Just a Man

I’m just a man
I’ve got it all worked out
Impossible plans
That I make without a doubt
I know just what I choose
Because it’s all right
Yeah it’s all right
I know just what I lose
Because it’s all right
Yeah it’s all right
I’m just a man
I’ve got it all figured out
Impossible plans
That I make with every doubt
I know just what to choose
Because it’s alright
Yeah it’s alright
I know just what I’ll lose
Because it’s alright
Yeah it’s alright

Fast Cars

Smell the place card
Have someone feed the organ
Wish I found you
Calling for a purpose
Think it over
And waited for a lifetime
Can’t deceive what
You’re hoping you might find
Every night
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to go real far
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to be a star
Can’t you feel it?
Working down your spine
Can’t you feel it?
Working down your spine
Every time
Reverse the reason
To sleep in the ballroom
Spend Sunday nervous
Until they reach the quota
What’s the choice of
A lifetime of denial
Can’t escape the choice to
Watch the feeling
Pass you by
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to go real far
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to be a star
Can’t you feel it?
Dripping down your spine
Can’t you feel it?
Working down your spine
Every night
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to go real far
Put those words in a fast car
And you’re going to be a star
Can’t you feel it?
Working down your spine
Can’t you feel it?
Working down your spine
Every time

The Jacket

Hello, Hello
Send me a rose on your voice tonight
You want to
Fall in love with someone else’s mind
But that’s the jacket
Sunbaked and draped over your shoulders
Two times and you’ve felt it all
You must have an awful reason
To audition all those marching calls
That’s the jacket
That’s the jacket that I wear
Hello, Hello
Send me a rose on your voice tonight
You want to
Fall in love with someone else’s mind
That’s the jacket
That’s the jacket that I wear

It’s time to have that conversation
And not a moment too soon
We’ll shout it out down
That avenue
Now, I know when something’s pretty
And I know when something’s sweet
But you figure it out before
You come and talk to me
Jenny, come on
You called it off
Not a minute too soon
And now you’ve figure it out
I’ve got to talk to you
|

It’s getting dark outside
Where you gonna go tonight?
When you think they’ve had enough
I don’t think they’re coming back for you
You’ve got nothing left to give
What’s under your fingertips?
When you think they’ve had enough
I don’t think they’re coming back for you

Conversation King
04:18
|

|
Used to laugh
Count the money on the floor
All the while
Jokes on the patio next door
Corner booth
Well, that’s where I do my thing
Got those lines
Because I’m the conversation king
Talk all about it
While the conversation’s still
Talk all about it
Because I’m the conversation
All the time
Because I’m the conversation king
