Remember when the days were long
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by
But happily ever after fails
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
Ah but I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by man
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
and the tall grass wave in the wind
you can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end, This is the end
Of the Innocence
Repeat Intro
Oh beautiful for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairytales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away the sin We'll sit and watch the clouds go by And the tall grass wave in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground Let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end, This is the end Of the Innocence
Who knows how long this will last Or how we've come so far so fast But somewhere back there in the dust That same small town in each of us I need to remember this So baby give me just one kiss And let me take a long last look Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the Innocence
