Lyrics Mayer Hawthorne

Mayer Hawthorne

The Innocent

She walks into the room and all the lights

Flicker violently

Keep your head down

No one makes a sound

Her boots are made from souls of stronger knights

Sitting silently

She stalks her prey

No one gets away

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

The innocent

Are never seen again.

She's got it,

And once she's on your track,

You're never comin' back

The innocent

Are never seen again.

She orders up a shot of Aberlour,

The tender starts to pour

With trembling hands

They all understand

She spins her barstool 'round and walks my way

And it's too late to pray

I hold my breath

Surrender to my death.

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

The innocent

Are never seen again.

She's got it,

And once she's on your track,

You're never comin' back

The innocent

Are never seen again.

And when she's got you her arms it's like a lullaby

The sweetest song you've ever heard, that my word

She'll make you feel like you're not just one of the other guys

But when you sleep you'll rest assured

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

And you want it,

She's got it,

The innocent

Are never seen again,.

She's got it,

And once she's on your track,

You're never comin' back

The innocent

Are never seen again.
