Need Vs. Want

[Verse 1]
Hello?
C'mon, I know you're there
Yeah, I have arrived with a message from someone you've wanted to hear from
That may get you running scared

[Verse 2]
Let's go!
It's time to show your wares
Yeah, I've got what you need, I haven't much time
Hey, I'm only the messenger, be sure you've tipped me fair

[Chorus]
The roll of even tide
May balance either side
And so I know I'm right
To say you're out of time

[Verse 3]
That's right
I've seen this once before
On some tv show
Only difference is they broke down the door

[Verse 4]
Let's go!
It's time to show your wares
Yeah, I've got what you want
I'll say it again, hey, I'm only the messenger working for my fair share

[Chorus]
The roll of even tide
May balance either side
And so I know I'm right
To say you're out of time

[Verse 5]
If I could, yeah, if I could
Lend you a secret to clean out your closet
And if I could...
You know I want to
Buy you a ticket to nowhere but safety
But as things are
I have no more secrets, I'm only the messenger

[Verse 6]
Goodbye!
And thanks for all your help
They'll be by in the morning to gather your things
If you're gone they will find you, so get on your knees
Just to pray you remember one moment of ease
Sorry, I'm just the messenger and now it's my time to leave
Goodbye!

[Chorus]
The roll of even tide
May balance either side
And so I know I'm right
To say you're out of time

[Chorus Reprise]
The roll of even tide
May balance either side
And so I know I'm right
To say you're out of time

[Verse 7]
If I could, yeah, if I could
Lend you a secret to clean out your closet
And if I could...
You know I want to
Buy you a ticket to nowhere but safety
But as things are
I have no more secrets, I'm only the messenger

[Outro]
If I could, yeah, if I could
Lend you a secret to clean out your closet
And if I could...
You know I want to
Buy you a ticket to nowhere but safety
But as things are
I have no more secrets, I'm only the messenger
