Postman Drove A Caddy - Pere Ubu (派瑞·尤布)[00:00:00]
I know it seemed like a good idea at the time [00:00:08]
But darling I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:00:13]
The postman drove a Caddy [00:00:18]
A sunburned green [00:00:20]
Rusted out land tug of a car [00:00:22]
It seen to race across the ridge trailin clouds of dust and dogs [00:00:25]
I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:00:30]
Now I saw the fact [00:00:34]
The driver was a dog [00:00:36]
The dog had a hat [00:00:38]
The hat had a flat [00:00:40]
It looked like a rat [00:00:42]
The rat was on fire [00:00:44]
Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:00:47]
Now that fire attracted the eye of a neighbor who [00:00:51]
Turning away [00:00:57]
Shook his head as he was heard to say [00:01:00]
I don't wanna know why [00:01:04]
Which confused the pig [00:01:08]
That ate the mailbox [00:01:10]
That contained the letter that was lost by the post office for 40 years [00:01:12]
Happenin to have been written by Albert Einstein [00:01:16]
Ha [00:01:19]
Somehow I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:01:21]
Now in his declining years[00:01:24]
He had designed/devined a device from common household items [00:01:27]
Which by harnassing hitherto unknown forces in the universe could put a chicken[00:01:30]
In every pot [00:01:35]
And make it so that everyone could live a long long time without any trouble at all [00:01:36]
And in the process savin mankind from certain self-destruction [00:01:42]
And enabling him to keep going more places forever [00:01:47]
Mmmm I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:01:52]
Now you understand that whether or not this device[00:01:56]
Would actually work was a matter of absolute conjecture [00:02:00]
Seeing as how Mr Einstein had buried the only plans [00:02:03]
And working model [00:02:06]
In a hole in the ground [00:02:08]
I knew there was trouble bound to come [00:02:10]
It had seemed like a good idea at the time [00:02:15]
In fact what the letter did say [00:02:20]
And would the recipient [00:02:23]
A Mr Tesla [00:02:25]
Please go out and dig it up right away [00:02:26]
But not to worry [00:02:31]
Cuz even if this self-same letter was to be lost in the post[00:02:32]
You couldn't miss the two-foot high Martian standing there[00:02:36]
Who promised to wait and not even budge for 40 years [00:02:39]
If he had to [00:02:43]
But then he really had to get going [00:02:43]
And by the way take him a couple apples [00:02:46]
Or something [00:02:49]
Because he really likes fruit [00:02:49]
Sincerely yours [00:02:51]
