rate me

hello?

c'mon, I know you're there

yeah, I have arrived with a message

from someone you've wanted to hear from

that may get you running scared.

let's go

it's time to show your wares

I've got what you need, I haven't much time

hey, I'm only the messenger

be sure you've tipped me fair

the roll of even tide may balance either side

and so I know I'm right to say you're out of time

that's right

I've seen this once before

on some tv show

only difference is they broke down the door

let's go

it's time to show your wares

yeah, I've got what you want, I'll say it again,

I'm only the messenger working for my fair share

the roll of even tide may balance either side

and so I know I'm right to say you're out of time

If I could, yeah, if I could

lend you a secret to clean out your closet

and if I could, you know I want to

buy you a ticket to nowhere but safety

but as things are I have no more secrets

I'm only the messenger

goodbye

and thanks for all your help

they'll be by in the morning to gather your things

if you're gone they will find you so get on your knees

just to pray you remember one moment of ease

sorry, I'm just the messenger

and now it's my time to leave

goodbye

the roll of even tide may balance either side

and so I know I'm right to say you're out of time

(2x)

If I could, yeah, if I could

lend you a secret to clean out your closet

and if I could, you know I want to

buy you a ticket to nowhere but safety

but as things are I have no more secrets

I'm only the messenger

(2x)
