Innocence Lost |
| Ever hear the sound of a death 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» |
