It's four o'clock in the morning We're still putting the world to rights The whiskey's started talking There's a fire in your eyes Conspiracy lies heavy In every word you breathe Contentious bones - widely known Watering the seeds Be sure to send a postcard When you get there let me know You know that I won't stop you when you go It's five o'clock in the morning And you're glad to be alive The booze has finished working The world is on your side It's clear to see the tyranny Was all some kind of plot You secretly confide in me Where there's brass there's muck Be sure to send a postcard When you get there let me know You know that I won't stop you when you go Be sure to send a postcard When you get there let me know I hope that you can make it on your own It's six o'clock in the morning There's nowhere left to hide Now we've seen the dawn in All that's left is our good-byes It's hard to see the sanity In what we call our lives Sometimes it seems that you just need To follow what's inside Be sure to send a postcard When you get there let me know You know that I won't stop you when you go Be sure to send a postcard When you get there let me know I hope that you can make it on your own
