| 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 | |
| It 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 crashes like a train | |
| Here she comes again | |
| Oh she's a messenger | |
| Where ya goin', where ya been? | |
| And all the amber lantern lights | |
| Reside 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 |
