Lyrics

Package Thief

From On the Mouth1993

Produced by John Reis, Superchunk

Lyrics

Package Thief

Running with both hands outstretched

Accepting the package

Only a son understands

He's in the basement

The kids around are scared

They keep their distance

Room after room stolen goods

It means nothing to her

I've been home

I've been out

Something's kept him off (from) his route

The boxes never reach my house

All the kids around are scared

They keep their distance

She's got a deal no one believes it

It means nothing to her
