Lyric Sheet
INNOCENCE
Innocence, what are you waiting for now?
Innocence, you?re such a bore.
Innocence, the world is waiting for me.
Innocence, unlock the door.
Little boys and little girls
Got curiousity and their peers.
What they can't have now
they don?t want to wait ?til later
The world?s like the headlights,
they?re like the deer.
Innocence, what are you waiting for now?
Innocence, you?re such a bore.
Innocence, the world is waiting for me.
Innocence, unlock the door.
I had a dream the other night.
I dreamed that everyone knew wrong from right.
Ther were no excuses, no clouded issues
No one could think of a reason to fight.
That?s not the world that you know.
Misrepresenting is part of the show.
All the gullible ones,
think there?s nothing to fear
The world?s like the headlights,
they're like the deer.
Innocence, what are you waiting for now?
Innocence, you?re such a bore.
Innocence, the world is waiting for me.
Innocence, unlock the door.
