Jack's Mannequin
"Kill The Messenger"

Oh my God, this hurts like hell
I had that dream again
Where I was lost for good in outer space
So tell me, doctor, how to shake
A waking nightmare
That is only worse when I am sleeping

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church 'cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain

It's not so easy caving in
I walked by your apartment
Twice today while you were gone at work
And all the colors got so dim
It's not as cold out here
But come quick, I am losing feeling

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just what I used to know
And get to church 'cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain, send a little rain

I'm gonna send a little
Rain to pour down on you
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
Rain to leave you all alone
But keeps eyelashes falling
Your wishes washed away

Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just what I used to know
And get to church 'cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain, send a little rain
i'm gonna send a little rain your way
