The Messenger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was hotter than the georgia asphalt
Now her hearts gone cold for me
I used to take the short cut home
Now I play til the last man leaves
Please don’t shoot the messenger
Don’t you know I come in peace
In an orgy of exaggeration
I always seem to give as good as I get
Form and credence to my agitation
Like a bindi in my foot again
Please don’t shoot the messenger
Don’t you know I come in peace
Please don’t shoot the messenger
But you blew him to smithereens
The woman what done it is too far gone
She and I pass like ship in the night from now on
I took a little trip to bring me back somehow
I sent you a postcard, signed san francisco by now
Please don’t shoot the messenger
Don’t you know I come in peace
Please don’t shoot the messenger
But you blew him to smithereens
