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
