End of the innocence
[00:26.19] Remember when the days were long
[00:29.91] And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:35.22] Didn't have a care in the world
[00:38.41] With mommy and daddy standin' by
[00:42.66] But "happily ever after" fails
[00:46.11] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:50.63] The lawyers dwell on small details
[00:54.87] Since daddy had to fly
[00:58.86] But I know a place where we can go
[01:03.38] That's still untouched by men
[01:07.62] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[01:11.08] And the tall grass waves in the wind
[01:15.06] You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:19.58] And let your hair fall all around me
[01:23.83] Offer up your best defense
[01:27.81] But this is the end
[01:32.06] This is the end of the innocence
[01:48.00] O' beautiful for spacious skies
[01:52.78] But now those skies are threatening
[01:56.50] They're beating plowshares into swords
[02:00.22] For this tired old man that we elected king
[02:05.27] Armchair warriors often fail
[02:08.45] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[02:12.97] The lawyers clean up all details
[02:16.95] Since daddy had to lie
[02:20.94] But I know a place where we can go
[02:25.72] And wash away this sin
[02:29.97] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[02:33.42] And the tall grass waves in the wind
[02:37.67] Just lay your head back on the ground
[02:41.66] And let your hair spill all around me
[02:46.17] Offer up your best defense
[02:49.89] But this is the end
[02:54.41] This is the end of the innocence
[03:08.75] ADLIB
[03:31.59] Who knows how long this will last
[03:35.58] Now we've come so far, so fast
[03:39.56] But, somewhere back there in the dust
[03:43.28] That same small town in each of us
[03:48.06] I need to remember this
[03:51.25] So baby give me just one kiss
[03:55.77] And let me take a long last look
[03:59.75] Before we say goodbye
[04:04.00] Just lay your head back on the ground
[04:08.25] And let your hair fall all around me
[04:12.50] Offer up your best defense
[04:16.22] But this is the end
[04:20.73] This is the end of the innocence
