Post No Bill

Alone in a room, the walls are clear

A slight reverberation

Is all I can hear

Footsteps in the hallway

Bats in a clocktower

Wasn't expecting a visitor at this hour

Deleted all my messages, cleared out my desk

Put on a pot of coffee at my visitor's request

At first I was surrounded by what I thought was fog

But as the tension mounted it was the real world after all

Once I felt all anxious

For what? I couldn't tell

Two bars behind my ear as my head began to swell

I thought I was in good standing

Though I'd paid around

So why this pool of emptiness where I used to have my mail sent?

If it feels good, I will

(Post no bill)

If it feels good, I will

(Post no bill)

If it feels good, I will

(Post no bill)

If it feels good, I will

(Post no bill)

I shouted at the emptiness

If it feels good, I will

(Post no bill)

If my looks could kill

(Post no bill)

We could be made of power

(Post no bill)

But there goes another year, I think I will

(Post no bill)

All swollen and imbalanced

I worried for my health

I shouted at the emptiness

And abandoned my wealth

Three swans on top of a cat's tail

Two beetles in a tin of beans

Said, "Ah"

And I stared blankly in return and I said, "Ooh"

And the tide began to turn

I knew I could be

I knew I could be

I knew I could be

I shouted at the emptiness

(Post no bill)

(Post no bill)

We could be made of power

If it feels good, I will

But there goes another year, I think I will

(Post no bill)

I knew I could be better

That I could give instead of steal

I offered it a cold drink

And I presented it a warm meal

I scratched my head and wondered

My full faculties employed

What's my neighbor doin'? I think his name is Lloyd

We could be made of power

Velocity of greed

(Great, I'm alone again, that's all I need)

Come on, I think I will

I think I will (I think I will)

I think I will (I think I will)

I think I will (I think I will)

(Post no bill)

(Post no bill)

I think I will

I think I will
