Lightning Strikes the Postman is credited by Wayne Coyne as the only Flaming Lips song to be built around a melody and set of chords written by former guitarist Ronald Jones. Coyne’s lyrics for the song were also inspired by Jones himself, possibly without his knowledge.
The song also lent its name...
I got your letter, it had turned to sand
Lightning strikes the postman in his hand
I hope that you remember the things you had to say
It's just a supernatural delay
I got your package, it was all a mess
Lightning strikes the postman in his chest
I hope that you remember the things you had to say
It's just a supernatural delay
I sent you a postcard and I hope you're fine
But lightning strikes the postman all the time
I couldn't really think of anything to say
It's just a supernatural delay
And it's hard to read the writing through the flames
Lightning Strikes the Postman was written by The Flaming Lips.
