Checks in the Mail - Victory

If promises were dollars

I’d be a millionaire

Instead I’m living in squalor

And getting skinny and pale

You know your phone is always busy

Or else you put me on hold

I’m getting hungry and dizzy

And this is getting real old

The postman don’t ring twice of my house

In fact he don’t ring at all

No U.P.S.

no Federal Express

Won’t somebody give me a call

You say the check’s in the mail

Is it a lie?

The check’s in the mail

Or just another tall tale

Don’t tell me baby

I’ve heard it all before

The check’s in the mail

You say the check’s in the mail

Is it a lie?

The check’s in the mail

Or just another tall tale

Don’t tell me baby

I’ve heard it all before

The check’s in the mail

You say you’ll pay me tomorrow

But tomorrow never comes

I got nowhere to borrow

It’s time to get out the guns

The light in the tunnel

Is just an oncoming train

Better listen to the rumble

'Cause it’s the calm before the rain

The postman don’t ring twice of my house

In fact he don’t ring at all

No U.P.S.

no Federal Express

Won’t somebody give me a call

You say the check’s in the mail

Is it a lie?

The check’s in the mail

Or just another tall tale

Don’t tell me baby

I’ve heard it all before

The check’s in the mail

I look every day

'Cause the check’s in the mail

Is it a lie?

The check’s in the mail

Or just another tall tale

Don’t tell me baby

I’d really be surprised

The check’s in the mail

The check’s in the mail

The check’s in the mail

The check’s in the mail

The check’s in the mail

You say the check’s in the mail

Is it a lie?

The check’s in the mail

Or just another tall tale

Don’t tell me baby

I’ve heard it all before

The check’s in the mail

You say the check’s in the mail

I’ve been knocking 'round your door

The check’s in the mail

I got something in store

Don’t tell me baby

Can’t take it no more

You say the check’s in the mail

You say the check’s in the mail

I’m getting my gun

The check’s in the mail

I’m gonna have me some fun

Don’t tell me baby

Because I’ve heard it before

You say the check’s in the mail

You say the check’s in the mail

I’m getting my gun

The check’s in the mail

I’m gonna have me some fun

Don’t tell me baby

Because I’ve heard it before

You say the check’s in the mail
