Lyrics

Postcards

Oh, the places we've never been Southampton to Switzerland I guess we'll just go by your word That the nighttime feels wide open Like it's all about to happen And the sellers in the markets You didn't notice until you did Yeah we got your postcard We taped it to the fridge Oh, the places we'll never go Poughkeepsie and the Panhandle Coast Though I'd like to put a foot in the ocean But the cigs are at the Speedway And the bottle is up at Zipp's And her eyes got kind of yellow She didn't notice until I did The doctor says its up to her To change the way she lives The change it spends the same way as the paper The faces at the bus stop they get swept away like saw dust The places we won't go will still be there without us You barely even notice and it never much gets mentioned In a postcard from a place we've never been I worked in the kitchens then I was sort of a metal head Here's a picture where I still had the hair It was tragic but so gradual It started really casual Turns out that we like the same stuff Watching Home & Garden shows With Smirnoff 7-Up I'm the guy that empties all the ashtrays Now we meet at the mailboxes She's expecting some packages But all she got today was a postcard From a friend from a different time The view from the London Eye I hope you're making good choices The faces at the bus stop they get swept away in stardust The places we won't go won't go away without us She scared you Yeah she she scared me She don't always make it easy But nothing here is easy It's expensive in this city So the next time if you don't mind tuck in a couple twenties We appreciate the love you send but we could use the money Got your address from the upper left hand corner of your letter Wanted you to know we're doing better
