[Verse 1] Stuck in the Paris post office Line moves like a sleepy train Ticket in my hand, you know it Box still waiting in the rain I brought the tape and patience You brought five more things to send Now the clerk keeps pointing, smiling Like this hallway never ends [Pre-Chorus] One box, two box, three Then the form comes back to me I keep asking, “How long now?” They just shrug and stamp me out [Chorus] Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) You got to ship five (you got to ship five) Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) I’ll be here all night (I’ll be here all night) [Verse 2] There's a broken pen beside me And a cart with one bent wheel Man in front of me is counting Every label like it's steel My box says “fragile” in marker Your box says “send it fast” Mine just sits there by the window While the minutes crawl past [Pre-Chorus] One box, two box, three Then the form comes back to me I keep asking, “How long now?” They just shrug and stamp me out [Chorus] Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) You got to ship five (you got to ship five) Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) I’ll be here all night (I’ll be here all night) [Bridge] I swear the ceiling's watching Every little shuffle step If this line moves any slower I might just mail myself [Final Chorus] Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) You got to ship five (you got to ship five) Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) Say a prayer and try (say a prayer and try) Stuck in the Paris post office (stuck in the Paris post office) I’ll be here all night (I’ll be here all night)
