Tea Party – The Messenger

Got a letter from the messenger

I read it when it came

It said that you were wounded,

you were bound and chained

you were 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 that can swing wide

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

there’s a chance and I’ll 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,

not coming for the kill
