Lyrics
Dead Letters (Express Delivery) Sending letters to the world to the world Dont know why have to try dont know why Unsolicited pseudonymous A battle cry before we die Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Dead letters on the rise From you and me A billion letters in the mail in the mail Addressed to anyone read by none Dear so and so let me tell you so The number none is no fun Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Dead letters on the rise To you and me Still there is a chance One might get a glance Of the heart that beats inside Between you and me Anyone can see Dead letters are alive Dead letters are alive Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Dead letters on the rise Dead letters on the rise From you and me Dead Letters (Standard Delivery) Sending letters to the world to the world hurled Dont know why dont know why try Unsolicited pseudonymous Just a cry bye before we die Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Just so many dead leaves Dead letters on the rise Dead notes dead rhymes Silent symbols on a page Muffled voices from the grave Writing stories on the wall any wall scrawl Casting songs through the air the empty air prayer Poets novelists Artists lyricists All who care dare lay it bare Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Just so many dead leaves Dead letters on the rise Dead notes dead rhymes Silent symbols on a page Muffled voices from the grave Dead letters on the rise Dead letters on the rise Still there is a chance One might get a glance Of the heart art that beats inside Between you and me Anyone can see Dead letter letters are alive Dead letters are alive Dead letters are alive A billion letters in the mail in the mail fail Addressed to anyone read by none no one Dear so and so Let me tell you so The number no one none is no fun Dead letters on the rise Dead words dead lines Undelivered unreceived Just so many dead leaves Dead letters on the rise Dead notes dead rhymes Silent symbols on a page Muffled voices from the grave Dead letters on the rise Copyright (c) 2006, 2007
