I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
And everybody believed in you?
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent
Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then
Wasn't it easier in your firefly catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you?
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers, you'll have new Septembers
Everyone of us has messed up too
Minds change like the weather, I hope you remember
Today is never too late to be brand new
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent
Lost your balance on a tightrope
It seemed like, I had run out of second chances
And they sentenced me to die
And I was just like a dead man walking
I was running out of time
But You came to me and opened my eyes
And You gave to me a brand new life
And I am innocent and I have been set free
And I no longer have chains around my feet
Well and no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent
Many years have passed since the day that I met You
But Your words are still the same
And every time I find myself with joy or sadness
I am calling out Your name
'Cause You came to me and opened my eyes
You gave to me a brand new life
And I am innocent and I have been set free
And I no longer have chains around my feet
Well and no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent
Oh, I am innocent
Oh, I am innocent
Oh yes, I am innocent
And I am innocent and I have been set free
And I no longer have chains around my feet
Well and no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent
And I have been set free
And I no longer have chains around my feet
Well and no matter where I go or what they say
I thought you were so innocent
Until I got my fingers burnt
You think me strange and quite peculiar
Let the first appearance fool ya
Even though you're not my mum
I've got to get my washing done
Who calls the tune must pay the piper
Fix the plug and catch the spider
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
I love someone who looks like you
The way you do but isn't you
It's still the same sad sordid story
Suffering sinner slave to glory
Now you say you want someone new
I knew you do you left a clue
The vows of love that you've recanted
Say you're taking me for granted
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Innocent Innocent[SOLO]
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Innocent Innocent
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Something hesitated in your eyes
When I found you
Something emanated from the sky
My dream came true
Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With a Lennon and Cobain and
A guitar and a stereo
And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul
I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
Oh, and Tina losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie's a war
And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she’d never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful
I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
One day, you’ll have to let it go
You’ll have to let it go
No...
One day, you’ll stand up on your own
You’ll stand up on your own
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...
We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are all innocent (you’ll have to let it go)
We are, we are (you’ll have to let it go, no..)
We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are, we are (you’ll stand up on your own)
We are, we are all innocent (you’ll stand up on your own..)
Verse 1:
I remember walking around the streets at night
I remember people talking about their lives
One of us never made it home that night
Drunk and high got the better of her mind
Jenny died
Chorus:
The setting sun with music on
the restless day was gone
You can't see when there´s sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
Verse 2:
Holding hands Drinking cans In the orange lights
Summer breeze Feeling free Kissing the first time
One of us never made it home that night
Easy love someone said give this stuff a try
Jenny tried
Chorus:
The railway bridge the river flowed
With shallow water down below
You can't see when there´s sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
Chorus:
the setting sun with music on
the restless day was gone
You can't see with the sun in your eyes
Your innocent
You think everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
everything is possible
And nothings gonna get you baby
Everything is touchable
Nothings gonna beat you in this life
Its alright
And it's cold in here when you're all in tears
Your vision is in black and white, you feel so afraid
You fail to show your better half, it's such a shame
Tomorrows dream never comes, it remains in shades
Remains in shades
Sticks and stones break my bones and it hurts too much
Easy come and easy go, in love and war all seems fair
Buts better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Now I am holding ground
Now I am safe and sound
But it's the last straw that breaks my back and lifes too short
Handsome is as handsome does and there's so much more
A change is good as rest they say and all that glitters is not gold
Now I am holding ground
Now I am safe and sound
No way I found love sane and sound
And it's cold in here when you're all in tears
Those endless nights of intrigues make it all too clear
In this dark world and wide I am innocent
We got a cutter in the bathroom
She kinda busted out of high school
She's seventeen and she likes the taste
It's too late
It's too late
For such an innocent face
Such an innocent face
You got an innocent
Lalalalala
You're an innocent
You can't see when the lights are down
You can't see what they're saying now
The kind of face that sparks a cash flow
You got a cover shoot in t-t-t-tokyo
You got an innocent face
You got an innocent
Lalalala
What a waste
You show up you're on the A-list
And no one knows how much you hate this
You won't eat without a gun to your head
You won't eat without a gun to your head
You're such a pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
I thought you were so innocent
Until I got my fingers burnt
You think me strange and quite peculiar
Let the first appearance fool ya
Even though you're not my mum
I've got to get my washing done
Who calls the tune must pay the piper
Fix the plug and catch the spider
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
I love someone who looks like you
The way you do but isn't you
It's still the same sad sordid story
Suffering sinner slave to glory
Now you say you want someone new
I knew you do you left a clue
The vows of love that you've recanted
Say you're taking me for granted
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Innocent Innocent
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Innocent Innocent
Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true
Something hesitated in your eyes
When I found you
Something emanated from the sky
picture time as before where you slept through it all
they believe you were there why deny what i said?
vicious lies being heard you stand there how absurd
and with hate in your mind convict me
take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
prove my innocence cause i did no wrong
empty words lies from the start? we stood strong never apart
had it all in our hands we had it all, yes you and me
now the tables have turned all i gave you return
makes it hard to believe what you've done to me
don't call me your friend, won't you understand I don't need
take my life away or give back the answer you hold
and stand unashamed of what you have done
don't just walk away unlock the chains from your heart
I know you'll never stay the same
In time most of us lose it
But I'm hoping just the same
You'll shine and learn how to use it
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
My hands hold you and you adore
Blue eyes turn my direction
Suprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Walk to me like the very first walk
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sunrise here comes another day
Cow jumps over the moon now
Sometime you will look back and say
Today I'll sing my own tune
Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are omnipotent when you're innocent
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sing to me like the very first sing
[Vlastyn]
Is it too late to remember those innocent days?
You harbour resentment, I know
You remember only the things I've taken away
I'm silenced by grief and crying below this haze...
I've been so selfish, been such a fool,
I always knew I'd never really get inside of you
Is it too late to hope now everything's changed?
We've traded places yet it's never the same
They sought the illusion that I shed
To become the one thing that they dread
They're all discouraged catastrophes
and I'll never grant them any of my sympathy
If only we learned to forget...
Instead we're taught to regret...
It was always my thought if we learned to forget we'd be innocent again
The way we must think, the way we must choose, the way we must always pretend
It was always my thought if we learned to forget we'd be innocent again
Because who can argue what's right or wrong when it all comes down to the
end?
If only we'd learned to forget...
Wading through the oceans of minced dreams
while they puke some little pieces of
surreal truth to feed the stupid crowd
The endless kiss of him that made them proud
so the rigid lens gives you
the perfect view
into the heated
heart of bloody polished steel
as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we have given you
See what we can do for you
We just do what we are told
We must do what we are told
for religion we are sold
We just do what we are told
for religion we are sold
all we touch is dead and cold
And while they exorcise what they believe
always flagging honour and justice
vindication for their blinded greed
so that you can play the innocent
'cause you learned how to behave
in a virtuell world that's
full of mutilated dreams
and as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we can give for you
See what we have done for you
all we have is here before you
Ooo it's beautiful all the red and blue flashin lights
And you in your uniform
I know it was you that saved my, saved my life
Let's get the questions out the way baby
He went that way but I'm here
It looks a little weird I know
But darling know I swear that
Chorus:
I'm innocent
Handcuff me if you don't believe me
I swear I'm innocent
Just cleanin up the murder scene you left me
Listen to me baby I'm innocent
All I need is a little savin'
And all I need is you to protect me
Baby keep me safe
Oooo it was so close
My whole life flashed before my eyes
Clues ah they're everywhere
Broken hearts all around but that's alright
Let's get all this mess out of the way baby
No one's around but I'm here
You've got nothing to fear
'cause baby I swear that I am
[Chorus:]
I'm innocent
Handcuff me if you don't believe me
I swear I'm innocent
Just cleanin up the murder scene you left me
Listen to me baby I'm innocent
All I need is a little savin'
And all I need is you to protect me
Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasures overrated
Never armed our souls
What the future would hold
When we were innocent
Angels, lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get just one right
All those colors long since faded
All our smiles are confiscated
Never were we told
That we'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent
This prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line and still ain't got it right
And while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplatd
Never did we know
What the future would hold
Or that we'd be bought and sold
Look deeper into your eyes
And tell me what you see
Misty dreams and false illusions
In a darkened sea of tears
Find the meaning and carry on
Just let the hate surface
Live the dream of fame and fortune
Annihilate the fears
Vengeance is yours to demand
Though destiny is our of your hands
Innocent - like a child
Heaven sent - lost in time
The world crashed down
Right before your eyes
Look deeper into your eyes
And set the demons free
Shameful lies and raging evil
Haunting souls in need
Flames of fire
Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain
And a guitar and a stereo
And while he wishes he could escape this
But it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul
I remember feeling low
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
Oh and Gina?s losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie?s a war
And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful
I remember feeling low
And I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
One day you?ll have to let it go
You?ll have to let it go, no
One day you?ll stand up on your own
You?ll stand up on your own, yeah
Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent, we are, we are
One day
(We are, we are all innocent)
You?ll have to let it go
(We are all innocent)
You?ll have to let it go, no
(We are, we are)
One day
(We are, we are all innocent)
You?ll stand up on your own
(We are all innocent)
You?ll stand up on your own, yeah
(We are, we are)
All the evil in the world
Pushing down on you
And all the venom in their words
What could you do?
What kind of ignorance
Causes them to be so,
So sick and vile and evil
You did nothing to them
It's just not fair, you don't deserve it.
It's not your fault
You're innocent
It's the world that's wrong
You're innocent
When they scream and when they yell
And tear you down
They make your life a living hell
When they come 'round
There's nothing you can say
That doesn't contradict them,
'Cause all they want's a victim
On which to vent their rage
It's just not fair, you don't deserve it.
It's not your fault
You're innocent
It's the world that's wrong
You're innocent
Just hold on,
You're innocent
Some day the world will belong
To the innocent
So let's wear black,
Let's blast The Cure and Siouxsie
Then we'll go see
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
And then we'll forget to go home.
It's not your fault
You're innocent
It's the world that's wrong
You're innocent.
Just hold on,
You're innocent.
Some day the world will belong
I'm overdressed for success
In a world that has no shame
I've had enough of seeing love
Being played like some game
I know why the good old days are gone
Cause everyone just tolerates whats wrong
I'm not some empty space for rent
I wanna be innocent
Yours wholeheartedly
Innocent
Every part of me
Take me back so I can see
The way that love was meant to be
Boys and girls
The real world
Is one that's filled with consequence
And all the lies that glamorize
It's a life that's broken
I see why the good old days are gone
Every time I turn my tv on
What's wrong with being different
Buried underneath this avalanche
You are my hope and second chance
Girl, girl
Hey listen girl, I can't explain
What happened to me, oh, no
I just looked at you, babe
And suddenly my body fellt weak, over you
Oh, I really should leave but I got to stay
I want you, girl, in my own way
What can I do to make you see
That I really need you too
We are innocent, oh baby girl
Innocent lover, in heat, in my life
We are innocent, sugar baby

Everything that leaves me empty
Why can't I just let it go?
It's so hard to see through
Don't know how it always gets me
Or how I got down this road
I could never do enough,
There's no way to buy Your love
'Cause You've already paid
For all the things I've done
Chorus:
And You say to me
That I'm already innocent
And I can't believe
You take me as I am
And I'm on my knees
Begging for forgiveness
I know I'm guilty, but You make me innocent
How can You forgive me
When You know it's not the last time
And You know I'm gonna fall again?
Though my hands were dirty,
You were the One who died to cover all my sins
I could never do enough
There's no way to buy Your love
'Cause you've already paid
For all the things I've done
Chorus:
You say to tme
That I'm already innocent
And I can't believe
You take me as I am
And I'm on my knees
Begging for forgiveness
I know I'm guilty, but You make me innocent
I know I don't deserve it
I know I'll never earn it
So tell me how You can hold me in Your arms
Chorus:
And say to me
That I'm already innocent
And I can't believe
You take me as I am
And I'm on my knees
Begging for forgiveness
I know I'm guilty
Yeah I know I'm guilty
But You make me innocent
I found your picture
Hidden in your drawer
You looked so innocent
And beautiful
Were you just curious?
Were you just young and insecure?
Did it make you happy?
Did he make you feel secure?
Was this a life
You don't remember anymore?
Did he kiss you gently?
Did he leave you wanting more?
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
I saw your faces
I know what you did before
You went to places
You don't go to anymore
You try to hide it
But there's no secrets anymore
Did he kiss you sweetly?
Did he kiss away your fear?
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I'll show you who you are
Before you ignore me
I know you'll never stay the same.
In time, most of us lose it.
But I'm hoping, just the same,
You'll shine and learn how to use it.
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
My hands hold you and you adore,
Blue eyes turn my direction.
Surprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection.
Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Walk to me, like the very first walk.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
You're innocent
You're innocent
You're innocent
You're innocent
Speak to me, like the very first speak.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Laugh to me, like the very first laugh.
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent.
Smile to me, like the very first smile.
You are magnificent when you're innocent.
Walk to me, like the very first walk.
I want you to want me
I want you to know
What it is that I've got here
What I'm looking for
Down on the outside
He knows you're out there
Something from nothing
Do you care to share my prayer?
Save me
Chorus:
Get used to it
The innocent
Get used to it
Rich politicians
Distribute the wealth
But they're afraid that I'll run away
And never better myself
Down on the inside
They're building statues of steel
Protect me from your enemies
And there they sit with their children weeping
-Chorus-
If you don't want me tagging along
Why don't you turn around and tell me so?
Instead of wasting my time
But on the horizon
It's so hard to tell
Help me up to touch the sky
Picture time as before
Where you slept through it all?
They believe you were there
Why deny what I say?
Vicious lies being told
You stand there how absurd
And with hate in your mind convict me
Take my life away
Or give the answer you hold
And stand unashamed of what you have done
Don't just walk away
Unlock the chains from your heart
Prove my innocence cause I did no wrong
Empty words, lies from the start
We stood strong, never apart
Had it all in our hands
We had it all, yes, you and me
Now the tables have turned
All I gave you return
Makes me hard to believe
What you've done to me
Don't call me a friend
Don't you understand, don't need it
Take my life away
Or give the answer you hold
And stand unashamed of what you have done
Don't just walk away
Unlock the chains from your heart
Prove my innocence cause I did no wrong
Take my life away
Or give the answer you hold
And stand unashamed of what you have done
Don't just walk away
Unlock the chains from your heart
Prove my innocence cause I did no wrong
I want you to want me
I want you to know
What it is that I've got here
What I'm looking for
Down on the outside
He knows you're out there
Something from nothing
Do you care to share my prayer?
Save me
Chorus:
Get used to it
The innocent
Get used to it
Rich politicians
Distribute the wealth
But they're afraid that I'll run away
And never better myself
Down on the inside
They're building statues of steel
Protect me from your enemies
And there they sit with their children weeping
-Chorus-
If you don't want me tagging along
Why don't you turn around and tell me so?
Instead of wasting my time
But on the horizon
It's so hard to tell
Help me up to touch the sky
It's amazing I can even close my eyes
To hide away, from the fear
Although I try I'm losing my whole life
My conscious now, is clear
Now I
I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent now
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent
I long to find the words to justify
The reason now, for what we do
You're so damn blind, I'm human, I'm mankind
Perfectly flawed, I'm just like you
Now I
I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent now
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent
I gotta keep on running
I can feel it coming
You hold me down as waves tower over my head
Words sound like thunder
Yea you pull me under
But we can be free
Hey now
Hey now
So free
It's amazing I can even close my eyes
To hide away, from the fear
Now I
I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent now
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent now
I can't explain
I'm not to blame
We are all innocent now
Nothing to say
The more we betray
We are all innocent
Innocent now
Your blood lust is your undoing
What makes you better men than them?
So protected; the best of everything
But those stains won't leave your shoes
The crumbling earth under your feet
Rumbling earth... protect the innocent
Making deep wounds
The loathing of you is so easy to do
Practice eternal hate
We don't cultivate, just give you the tools
Then watch it on TV
No one will stand and condemn
We'll keep it quiet because we're doing so good
But our future was sold
Has anyone noticed that the melting pot has boiled over?
Will someone lower the flame?
Innocent in the line of fire
Paid for by the stolen dollar
Innocent in the line of fire
You're guilty as sin
But the money keeps rolling in
Uneasy in my easy chair
I stare in disbelief
Walking down this street I feel so cold
Where the love is cheap I'm not alone
Do you ever feel like you just don't belong?
Step right in we'll help you if you sing along
(CHORUS)
We are not so innocent, and we never were
So, please don't take our disrespect to mean that we don't care
Want to burn it all down to the ground
Feel like self-destruction gets you found
If I knew a better way I might have stopped
Hitting bottom just so I would know which way is up
(CHORUS x2)
I know what's right
But sometimes I would rather choose the wrong way
Choose the wrong way
(CHORUS x2)
I know what's right
What if You would've never sent Your Son
What if You held back Your love
It would be so different there would be no hope for us
But that's not the way it all went down
We're covered by mercy now
Could've found us guilty but You chose to save us
We are, we are, we are innocent
We are, we are blameless
'Cause You take all the shame
And You wash it away
'Til we are, we are innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
So we can finally rest tonight
We can finally say goodbye
To the past that held us
To the fear that ruled our lives
I know we're gonna fall sometimes
Nobody's got a perfect life
Could've found us guilty but You chose to save us
We are, we are, we are innocent
We are, we are blameless
'Cause You take all the shame
And You wash it away
'Til we are, we are innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
We are dancing 'cause we know we're Yours
You are, oh, You're what we're living for
We were lost, oh yea, but now we're coming home, we're coming home
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
We are, we are, we are innocent
We are, we are blameless
'Cause You take all the shame
And You wash it away
'Til we are, we are innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
You make us, You make us, You make us innocent
In this land of plenty, I have a home
I have a name, I have a place
Confuse me with your communication
If you bury your head you'll get lost in the past.
THERE IS SOME CONFUSION,
WIPE THE DUST FROM MY EYES.
BUT DON'T CALL ME INNOCENT.
In the homes of millions, some of us win
Some of us lose and some of us just survive
Confuse me with your education
I wasn 't the first and I won't be the last.
BUT DON'T CALL ME INNOCENT.
In these streets I saw faces, some of them proud
And some of them still surprised
Confuse me with your contradictions
I just want to hold it, but it moves too fast.
THERE IS SOME CONFUSION,
WIPE THE DUST FROM MY EYES.
We were innocent
You answered the phone, "Hello"
I said, "Guess who", but you didn't know
Doesn't it strike you as strange?
It's only been a year and so much has changed
We'd sneak up on your rooftop
Cigarettes and secrets
You're the only one I told
Because I trusted you to keep it
Remember we were innocent
Sunshine in your eyes
Tell me you remember when
Our bicycles could fly
Innocent
I miss having somebody to call
When there's somethin' to say or nothin' at all
Everyone asks if it's true
The rumors they've heard about you
They say that you got married
And you're havin' a baby
I don't know how to answer
Shrug my shoulders and say, "Maybe"
Remember we were innocent
The world turns, time goes by
Everytime I hear our song
Oh! I can't help but cry
Remember we were innocent
I'll keep you in my prayers
I know that you'll be okay
And if you ever need me
Know that best friends are for always
Always
Remember we were innocent
Sunshine in your eyes
Tell me you remember when
Our bicycles could fly
Remember we were innocent
Sunshine in your eyes
Remember we were innocent
The world turns time goes by
Remember we were innocent
Bicycles could fly
Remember we were innocent
I know you'll never stay the same
In time most of us lose it
But I'm hoping just the same
You'll shine and learn how to use it
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
My hands hold you and you adore
Blue eyes turn my direction
Suprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are magnificen when you're innocent
Walk to me like the very first walk
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sunrise here comes another day
Cow jumps over the moon now
Sometime you will look back and say
Today I'll sing my own tune
Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are omipotent when you're innocent
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sing to me like the very first sing
I don’t know what you need
I do not see the things you see
Your clock is ticking all the time
Sometimes you get it right
A soldier born to end this fight
You hold the power and the flame
I breathe, I bleed, I know you’re gone
You’re the innocent
I breathe, I bleed, I know you’re gone
You’re the innocent
You’re so innocent to me
I know a stone flesh down to the bone
I reach, I try just to reach the sky
I know a stone flesh down to the bone
I reach
i'm crawling down the drain sounds of laughter i'm calling out your name you don't answer I'm sliding down the road miles of passion and all the things I saw flew in the same direction as you
so everything you said was right I failed now I'm ready to die but the only way to do it right is to free your mind and you'll be fine if you wanna be as free as innocent if you wanna be as free as innocent as me
I'm flying with the wind whistiling to my self thinking of your own is what you do best so I don't care if you will cry you hurt me now I'm paying you back but the only way to do right is to free your mind and you'll be fine
he was accused but gave no answer
not even to a single charge
i was amazed by his behaviour
who is this man? king of the jews?
he told me something about his kingdom
and the reason why he came into this world
he came to testify to the truth
but what is truth?
what should i do with this man?
they want him to be crucified
but i cannot find a basis
for a charge against this man
i could release him
but they do not want me to set him free
It is not my responsibility
