Steve Taylor - Innocence Lost lyrics

Ever hear the sound of a d**h row chorus? ever see the look of a wolfman prowling the steps? in this deep freeze bunker they store us send away the priest, 'cause they're ain't nothing more to confess She had the innocent eyes of a Renoir lady clutched her black book like an angel nursing a child "It's a quarter to midnight here, baby if you're gonna stare, do it while I'm sleeping" But her eyes, they shone of an innocent way... in her eyes, we glimpsed of an innocent way... and in the days that followed we were under a spell why's the girl visiting a prison cell? Innocence, innocence, innocence lost all souls want it back some uncover the cost innocence, innocence lost break free, look at me is your innocence lost? He'd seen things that a man don't mention sunk into his eyes was a weariness nothing could heal "Don't tell me 'bout your cheap salvation what's a man do when he don't feel nothing?" But her eyes, they shone of an innocent way... She said, "Beyond these bars there are things you can't see" He spoke slowly "Ain't no pardon for me" Innocence, innocence, innocence lost all souls want it back some uncover the cost innocence, innocence lost she said, "Look at me, don't you, don't you lose your innocence don't lose your innocence" he said, "God's own angels couldn't give me hope when you leave me hanging, just leave me enough rope" But her eyes he glimpsed of an innocent way... And on the eve of destruction they were shining the chair outside vigils, inside men were sobbing as she kissed his forehead when the morning had dawned he said softly to her, "I'll see you beyond"
