Mr Postman

Mr. Postman, Mr Postman… do you feel dated

Ordering online makes your whole world jaded

Mr postman Mr postman… do you feel left behind

The kid on the bike, the dog in the yard only ones recognizing you're fine

So I invite you to ring the door, tell me about your day

Because even tho the weather been hell, you helped my package arrive today

I let you in, inside my home, brush off your coat

I know you're busy – you've got routes to walk, even in the snow

You stayed so long, we exchanging jokes, your truck almost got towed (Haha)

But God bless pensions – you'll be far from broke

You don't have the swag of the milkman

You aren't as badass as landscapers

Yet you're stepping over junk in the yard and the errant thrown newspapers

Nobody handwrites letters no more...

So your job, delivering good news isn't even exciting no more

Well fashion works in cycles, I can sense it - your time is near

You're not dying out - I won't let ya

I'll send something through you something special

Do you get letters? Do you get phone calls?

Do people on the route give you Christmas cards?

It's crazy to think we live in the same world, but we exist apart

In yours, nothing between you and the sky – you're seeing stars

The American dream – you're played by the movie stars

Minus the phony people – minus the girls and cars

But you're the one I'd pick to sit next to – when I walk in that bar

Whether it's a new place – or the same old spot – I've seen you at thus far

Mr postman Mr Postman do you feel left behind?

The kid on the bike, and the dog in the yard only ones recognizing you're fine

Different times call for different minds but you're the cornerstone

In your world there is no prize – Connecting the world to these happy homes

You're not catching bad guys, or putting out fires

But you're the definition of consistency – and that's what I desire

And that's what I desire

Consistency

That's what I desire

Consistency

That's what I desire

The kid on the mic, and the dog in his yard will get the world to see you're fine
