THE TEA PARTY LYRICS - The Messenger

"The Messenger"



Got a letter from a messenger

I read it when it came

It said that you were wounded

You were bound and chained

You had loved and you were handled

You were poisoned, you were pained

Oh no

Oh no

You were naked, you were shamed



You could almost touch heaven

Right there in front of you

Liberty just slipped away on us

Now there's so much work to do

Oh the door that closes tightly

Is the door than can swing wide

Oh no

Oh no

Not expecting to collide



For a minute I let my guard down

Not afraid to be found out

I completely forgot dear

What our fears were all about

Oh no there's no need to be without



If there's a chance I would take it

This desire I can't kill

Take my heart please don't break it

I will crawl to your foothill



I'm frightened but I'm coming

Please baby please lay still

Oh no

Oh no

I'm not coming for the kill



Oh no

I'm not coming for the kill



Oh no

I'm not coming for the kill
