[Verse 1] I rolled up late on a red dog night Forklift sleeping in the sodium light Sealed box heavy on my dolly rack No name on the front, no sender back The man in the vest had a flat blue stare Thumbed his watch like he didn't care He said, "Sign here, buddy, don't ask why" Then he slid me an envelope, thick and dry [Pre-Chorus] It felt too neat Too clean, too fast Cash in my hand And the chill in the glass Corner radio hissed Names in the static My pulse hit hard When I heard that crackling [Chorus] Delivery man, don't look down Keep that truck rolling out of town Delivery man, bite that tongue Some doors open, some stay shut Delivery man, cash in the fold One sealed box and a story untold Delivery man, don't look back When the scanner starts talking black [Verse 2] I parked by the bay where the cold air bit Counted the bills with my back half-lit Twenty, fifty, hundred, worn at the seam Smelled like pennies and a bad man's dream Inside that corner, the scanner sang "Unit twelve, copy?" and the mic just rang A woman's voice cut through the buzz Then dead air dropped like a weight on us [Pre-Chorus] It felt too neat Too clean, too fast Cash in my hand And the chill in the glass Corner radio hissed Names in the static My pulse hit hard When I heard that crackling [Chorus] Delivery man, don't look down Keep that truck rolling out of town Delivery man, bite that tongue Some doors open, some stay shut Delivery man, cash in the fold One sealed box and a story untold Delivery man, don't look back When the scanner starts talking black [Bridge] I could drop that cash Could tear that seal Could call that number Make it real But the keys hung cold In my right hand And the whole damn night Was a rigged-out plan [Chorus] Delivery man, don't look down Keep that truck rolling out of town Delivery man, bite that tongue Some doors open, some stay shut Delivery man, cash in the fold One sealed box and a story untold Delivery man, don't look back When the scanner starts talking black [Outro] I signed my name And I drove away With the envelope And the light gone gray Behind me, still That corner hissed Like the whole warehouse Knew I existed
