The highway's comin'
they're tearin' up the street
they're movin' all the houses and cuttin' down
the trees
what's that carved in the top of the tree
Romeo

ever since he was a boy of four
when everyone was yellin' he had a place to go
apple tree, rocketship
appleship, rocket tree

chorus

up high
above the world
he disappeared about five years back
a mailman extraordinaire
he never missed a day
but around the noonday sun
no one could find him

I crossed my fingers
crossed my eyes
he lost his job then he lost his mind
at least that's how their story goes
Romeo

I was walkin' through the alleys
daydreamin' up a streak
I thought I heard some singing
comin' from the trees
looked above
what did I see
Romeo
