Lyrics
Ever hear the sound of a deathrow chorus?
Ever see the look of a wolfman prowling the steps?
In this deep freeze bunker they store us
Send away the priest 'cause there ain't nothing more to confess
She had the innocent eyes of a Renoir lady
Clutched a 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 a girl visiting a prison cell?
Innocence, innocence, innocence lost
All souls want it back, some uncover the cost
Inner innocence, innocence lost
Break free, look at me, is your innocence lost?
But he'd seen things that a man don't mention
Something to his eyes was a weariness nothing could heal
Don't tell me about your cheap salvation
What's a man to 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
These folks lonely ain't no problem for me"
Innocence, innocence, innocence lost
All souls want it back, some uncover the cost
Inner 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 a knot rope"
But in her eyes he glimpsed of an innocent day
And on the eve of destruction they were shining the chair
Outside vigils inside men were sobbing
As she kissed his forehead with the morning at dawn
He said softly to her "I'll see you beyond"
Innocence, innocence, innocence lost
All souls want it back, some uncover the cost
Inner innocence, innocence lost
Break free, look at me, don't you, don't you
Lose your innocence
Innocence, innocence, innocence lost
All souls want it back, some uncover the cost
Don't lose your innocence
Inner innocence, innocence lost
Don't lose your innocence
Break free, look at me, don't you, don't you
Lose your innocence
