| All the peacock people left their plumes in a pile
|
| They look good to a fault
|
| And the Gulf water’s warm like a bathtub
|
| Full of lavender and epsom salt
|
| See a bleach blond boy put his long board down
|
| Help his girl get her sunscreen on
|
| I thought about you in your little house
|
| Think you’re lonely but I could be wrong and
|
| I wanna be a bootlegger
|
| Wanna mix you up something strange
|
| Braid your hair like a sister
|
| Name you like a hurricane
|
| Right there
|
| That’s the postman sleeping in the sand
|
| He’s got a letter to deliver
|
| But I can’t stay mad, oh
|
| Right there
|
| That’s the postman sleeping in the sand
|
| He’s got a get-well-card to deliver
|
| He’s gonna do it by hand
|
| He’s gonna do it by hand
|
| Now they drive their cars up and down the beach
|
| It’s ridiculous and everybody knows
|
| Hear the Mustangs rev at the four-way stop
|
| You get ghosted when the light says go
|
| But in a town like this
|
| In the checkered flag dawn
|
| It’s so empty it could make somebody dream
|
| So maybe it’s you in your four-post bed
|
| Sound asleep bu still grinding your teeth
|
| I wanna be your happiness
|
| I wanna be your common sense pain
|
| Wrap your head in a picket fence
|
| Rebuild after the hurricane
|
| Right there
|
| That’s the postman sleeping in the sand
|
| He’s got my letters to deliver
|
| But I’m still not mad, oh
|
| Right there
|
| That’s the postman sleeping in the sand
|
| He’s got a get-well-card to deliver
|
| He’s gonna do it by hand
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it by hand
|
| Oh
|
| Right there
|
| That’s the postman sleeping in the sand
|
| He’s got a letter to deliver
|
| But I can’t stay mad, oh
|
| Right there, that’s the postman asleep in the sand
|
| He’s got a head-stack now to deliver
|
| He wants to do it by hand
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it
|
| He’s gonna do it, he’s gonna do it by hand |
