The Wicked Messenger Lyrics - Gone Again - Patti Smith

There was a wicked messenger 

From Eli he did come, 

With a mind that multiplied 

The smallest matter. 

When asked who had sent for him, 

He answered with his thumb, 

For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. 

He stayed behind the assembly hall, 

It was there he made his bed, 

And oftentimes he could be seen returning. 

Until one day he just appeared 

With a note in his hand that read, 

"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Oh, the leaves began to fallin' 

And the seas began to part, 

And the people that confronted him were many. 

And he was told but these few words, 

Which opened up his heart, 

"If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."
