lyrics

VERSE 1
In the winter's snow two roads diverged,
The choice between stood as night and day,
With unsure footing, we set off,
Meaning lost to the haste...

VERSE 2
And as we turned away from the motorcycle tracks,
It hit us then, the gravity,
We the righteous, sitting in the kitchen,
Hardly daring to breathe...

CHORUS
Postmaster General - What news have you?
Postmaster - Anything at all?
If you could only give us legs to stand on,
Or this hope might kill us all,
Yea the hope might kill us all...

VERSE 3
We never spoke of the terror 'neath our floor boards,
As if ashamed of our own humanity,
We kept our ears fixed on the winter wind,
For an engine or a siren's scream...

VERSE 4
Claude grabbed a bottle and his violin,
We lived each night as if it were our last,
As we'd retire I would lie awake,
With the righteous sleeping fast...

CHORUS
Postmaster General - What news have you?
Postmaster - Anything at all?
If you could only give us legs to stand on,
Or this hope might kill us all,
Yea the hope might kill us all...

<humming>

CHORUS
Postmaster General - What news have you?
Postmaster - Anything at all?
Could it be, that the end is upon us?
Yeah this hope just might kill us all,
Yeah the hope just might kill us all!

about

The Radium Girls Boston, Massachusetts

We began playing together freshman year in college, which mostly was just daydreaming and not cutting our hair. This happened in a tiny room, barely able to fit us. We played all over Rochester and released a demo in 2008, but we craved more - and with lots of coffee, we finished our debut album 'From the Woodwork'. We graduated in 2011 and moved to Boston, so we can make it big like Bon Jovi. ... more
