Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
I strike a red bird on your face
and pour the kerosene in your mouth
I watch the match fall down your throat
I burn all your precious bowels
I watch the smoke pour from every crack
And breathe in your secret lives
All your bills, pay, and welfare cheques
But I don't think I can stay for long
There's lots more mail that's not yet ash
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Im taking this town back
I watch the smoke start to rise
One hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine
It's fucked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face
When the sky is streaked with plumes
Know that it's my signature
Upon this wretched fucking city
Mailbox Arson, my sweet revenge
Mailbox Arson, my sweet revenge
Strike a match and burn away,
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away,
Every tie that binds me to this place
I will strike a match and burn away,
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away,
Every tie that binds me to this place
When the smoke clears,
You can consider us even
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town
Im taking this town back
I watch the smoke start to rise
One hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine
It's fucked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face
