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 Yeah, I've got what you want, 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, hey, I'm only the messenger working for my fair share
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!
