[00:07]The End Of The Innocence
[00:22][00:14]
[00:25]Remember when the days were long
[00:28]And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:34]Didn't have a care in the world
[00:37]With mommy and daddy standin' by
[00:41]But "happily ever after" fails
[00:45]And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:50]The lawyers dwell on small details
[00:53]Since daddy had to fly
[00:57]
[00:58]Oh I know a place where we can go
[01:02]That's still untouched by men
[01:06]We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[01:10]And the tall grass waves in the wind
[01:14]You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:19]And let your hair fall all around me
[01:23]Offer up your best defense
[01:27]this is the end
[01:31]This is the end of the innocence
[01:44][01:36]
[01:47]O' beautiful, for spacious skies
[01:52]But now those skies are threatening
[01:55]They're beating plowshares into swords
[01:59]For this tired old man that we elected king
[02:03]
[02:04]Armchair warriors often fail
[02:07]And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[02:12]The lawyers clean up all details
[02:15]Since daddy had to lie
[02:19]
[02:20]Oh I know a place where we can go
[02:25]And wash away this sin
[02:29]We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[02:32]And the tall grass waves in the wind
[02:36]Just lay your head back on the ground
[02:40]And let your hair spill all around me
[02:45]Offer up your best defense
[02:49]But this is the end
[02:53]This is the end of the innocence
[03:22][03:16][03:08][03:01]
[03:30]Who knows how long this will last
[03:34]Now we've come so far, so fast
[03:39]But, somewhere back there in the dust
[03:42]That same small town in each of us
[03:47]I need to remember this
[03:51]So baby give me just one kiss
[03:55]And let me take a long last look
[03:59]Before we say goodbye
[04:02]
[04:03]Just lay your head back on the ground
[04:07]And let your hair fall all around me
[04:11]Offer up your best defense
[04:15]But this is the end
[04:19]This is the end of the innocence
[04:47][04:36][04:27]
