Mailbox Arson Lyrics by Alexisonfire

Live at Copps

2006

[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town

[Verse 1: George Pettit]
I strike a red bird on your face, I pour the kerosene in your mouth
I watch the match fall down your throat
I burn all your precious bowels, watch the smoke fold for every crack
And breathe in your secret lives
All your bills pay your welfare checks but I don't think I can stay for long
There's a lot more that's not yet ash

[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, well I'm taking this town back

[Chorus: Dallas Green]
I watch the smoke start to rise, one hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine, it's fucked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face

[Verse 2: George Pettit]
When the sky is streaked with plumes, know that it's my signature
Upon this wretched fucking city
Mailbox arson, my sweet revenge
Mailbox arson, my sweet revenge

[Bridge: Dallas Green, George Pettit]
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
I will strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
When the smoke clears
You can consider us even

[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, I'm taking this town back

[Chorus: Dallas Green]
I watch the smoke start to rise, one hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine, it's fucked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face
