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