《Postman Drove A Caddy》歌词

[00:00:00] Postman Drove A Caddy - Pere Ubu (派瑞·尤布)

[00:00:08] I know it seemed like a good idea at the time

[00:00:13] But darling I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:00:18] The postman drove a Caddy

[00:00:20] A sunburned green

[00:00:22] Rusted out land tug of a car

[00:00:25] It seen to race across the ridge trailin clouds of dust and dogs

[00:00:30] I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:00:34] Now I saw the fact

[00:00:36] The driver was a dog

[00:00:38] The dog had a hat

[00:00:40] The hat had a flat

[00:00:42] It looked like a rat

[00:00:44] The rat was on fire

[00:00:47] Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:00:51] Now that fire attracted the eye of a neighbor who

[00:00:57] Turning away

[00:01:00] Shook his head as he was heard to say

[00:01:04] I don't wanna know why

[00:01:08] Which confused the pig

[00:01:10] That ate the mailbox

[00:01:12] That contained the letter that was lost by the post office for 40 years

[00:01:16] Happenin to have been written by Albert Einstein

[00:01:19] Ha

[00:01:21] Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:01:24] Now in his declining years

[00:01:27] He had designed/devined a device from common household items

[00:01:30] Which by harnassing hitherto unknown forces in the universe could put a chicken

[00:01:35] In every pot

[00:01:36] And make it so that everyone could live a long long time without any trouble at all

[00:01:42] And in the process savin mankind from certain self-destruction

[00:01:47] And enabling him to keep going more places forever

[00:01:52] Mmmm I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:01:56] Now you understand that whether or not this device

[00:02:00] Would actually work was a matter of absolute conjecture

[00:02:03] Seeing as how Mr Einstein had buried the only plans

[00:02:06] And working model

[00:02:08] In a hole in the ground

[00:02:10] I knew there was trouble bound to come

[00:02:15] It had seemed like a good idea at the time

[00:02:20] In fact what the letter did say

[00:02:23] And would the recipient

[00:02:25] A Mr Tesla

[00:02:26] Please go out and dig it up right away

[00:02:31] But not to worry

[00:02:32] Cuz even if this self-same letter was to be lost in the post

[00:02:36] You couldn't miss the two-foot high Martian standing there

[00:02:39] Who promised to wait and not even budge for 40 years

[00:02:43] If he had to

[00:02:43] But then he really had to get going

[00:02:46] And by the way take him a couple apples

[00:02:49] Or something

[00:02:49] Because he really likes fruit

[00:02:51] Sincerely yours

[00:02:51] Albert Einstein
