I don't believe I want to run
Said I was willing, willing, willing
She said she knew what my books did not
I thought she knew what's up
Past the mission, behind the prison door
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission, I smell the roses
She said they all think they know him well
She knew him better, better, better
Everyone wanted something from him
I did too, but I shut my mouth
He just gave me a smile
ย
Past the mission, behind the prison door
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission, I smell the roses
Past the mission, I smell the roses
ย
I found a body, not sure it was his
Still they're using his name
And she gave him shelter
And somewhere I know she knows
Somewhere I know she knows
Some things only she knows
ย
Past the mission, behind the prison door
Past the mission, I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission, they're closing every hour
Past the mission, I smell the roses
Past the mission, I hear him say
"My, smell the roses"
