Lyrics
A Postcard from the Edge of the World
It?s a radiant summer sunset
On an explosion-red afternoon
I sit above the city on a hill on watch the sky
I can see so clearly
Clouds stretching out for miles and miles
I can hear your heartbeat
Even here at the edge of the world
I?ll send you a postcard from the edge of the world
Silver towers shine like modern day cathedrals
Glowing bright with power and electronic flowers
I can hear them calling out
Talking without listening at all
Radio static questions
Asked without attempt to understand
Running without thinking
Ambition without reason
Trying their best to capture dreams
With suicide machines
I watch it all from the edge of the world
I?ll send you a postcard from the edge of the world
It?s a tickertape parade
For the awful mess that daddy made
And there?s no room left to hide
Or sweep it under the rug
I?ll send you a postcard from the edge of the world
