The End of the Innocence

And the tall grass waves in the wind
Aah, but I know a place where we can go

Since daddy had to fly

That same small town in each of us
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies
And wash away this sin
Offer up your best defense but this is the end
The lawyers clean up all details

When happily ever after fails
For this tired old man that we elected king
Since daddy had to lie
So baby, give me just one kiss
The lawyers dwell on small details

Armchair warriors often fail
Offer up your best defense, this is the end
I need to remember this

And let your hair fall all around me
Just lay your head back on the ground
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
But somewhere back there in the dust
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense but this is the end
And you can lay your head back on the ground
Didn't have a care in the world
And let your hair spill all around me
Now we've come so far, so fast
And let me take a long last look
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

Just lay your head back on the ground
Aah, but I know a place where we can go
Before we say goodbye
They're beating plowshares into swords
With mommy and daddy standing by
But now those skies are threatening
That's still untouched by men
Who knows how long this will last

And the tall grass waves in the wind

This is the end of the innocence
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
This is the end of the innocence

And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
