I'm Not There movie - The Wicked Messenger lyrics

Song by The Black Keys<br /><br>

There was a wicked messenger <br>

From Eli he did come, <br>

With a mind that multiplied <br>

The smallest matter. <br>

When questioned who had sent for him, <br>

He answered with his thumb, <br>

For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. <br>

<br>

He stayed behind the assembly hall, <br>

It was there he made his bed, <br>

Oftentimes he could be seen returning. <br>

Until one day he just appeared <br>

With a note in his hand which read, <br>

"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning." <br>

<br>

Oh, the leaves began to fallin' <br>

And the seas began to part, <br>

And the people that confronted him were many. <br>

And he was told but these few words, <br>

Which opened up his heart, <br>

"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."<br>

<br>
