Cover art for Lightning Strikes the Postman lyrics by Flaming Lips, The

The image of this poor mailman getting struck by lightning all the time and having to deliver sacks of burnt, smoldering mail is hillarious, but I think there is a point, albeit a humorously exaggerated one, about struggling to keep in communication with someone over long distances.

I disagree i think its someone writing to someone who doesn't want to talk to them and every time they don't reply he just makes up an excuse ""Lightning must have struck the postman" instead of dealing with it and moving on!
