Messenger

Oh she's a messenger

Her body bold and bare

You've always been a gentleman

But tonight you can't help but stare



Her senses have been soaked

I must be more than smoke

Floatin' on the air



Oh she's a messenger

If she knows, she doesn't care



Oh she's a messenger

And slowly from within

Her message has been amplified

Written on your skin



Despite what you maintain

She drives you like a train

Here she comes again



Oh she's a messenger

Where ya goin', where ya been?



And all the amber lantern lights

Preside upon her path tonight

The stars have long decided where she'll go



There is no chance to grasp or guide

The absent rains, the terrible tide

The stars have long decided where she'll go



Oh she's a

Oh she's a

Get you in the mornin'

She's a long season

Oh she's a messenger tonight



You drove your truck to Michigan

But you couldn't beat the rain

You registered a motel

But you didn't use your name



The audience applauds

On the TV down the hall

You wonder what they're sayin'



Oh she's a messenger

Who sings a sad refrain



Oh she's a

Oh she's a

Get you in the mornin'

She's a long season

Oh she's a messenger tonight



Oh she's a

Oh she's a

Get you in the mornin'

She's a long season

Oh she's a messenger tonight
