VERSE 1 Mary stopped to smell the flowers. Mary lost track of hours. VERSE 2 A strange man came up to her. He said: "Ooooh, baby won't you come with daddy" BRIDGE 1 VERSE 3 Now, Mary didn't know this man at all so.... She screamed and she cried for help. VERSE 4 Then he grabbed her by the wrist and he dragged her away. She was kickin' and a-screamin' and so afraid and...... BRIDGE 2 ....all the thoughts ran through her mind of how she'd never see her mommy or her daddy ever..... again...... again...... again...... agian...... VERSE 5 He thrust his needle into her, piercing her soft soul, injecting her veins with his disease, drugging her with the pleasure of self-hatred. CHORUS 1 Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. INSTRUMENTAL VERSE 6 And all the time as her tender little body was being crumpled like a wasted page ripped out of a typewriter in a story written by some demented author ......she gazed into the sky. VERSE 7 Strangely detached and becoming numbed to the horror that was consuming her, pinned on her back by some bleeting pig, in disbelief she gazed into the clear blue sky. CHORUS 2 Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. BRIDGE 3 The clear blue sky turned red.... The clear blue sky turned red.... ....as her soul was pried open. VERSE 8 Now Mary doesn't smell the flowers. Mary just cries for hours. 'Cause her soul's been ripped apart, the sky will never look the same..... again...... again...... again...... agian...... CHORUS 3 Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone...... Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. Innocence gone, innocence gone. |
