Vigilantes of Love
But Not for Long (1999)
[Verse 1]
Given what you want
Given what you need
Given what you get
Given what you have to bleed
Bleed some more
And I will not mind
And I will not curse
Yeah, and mean it most of the time

[Verse 2]
Given all I am
Lord, kill these grand pretensions
Falling way too short
With all my best intentions
Moving much too fast
Last chance on the line
So you learn to lie
It's a little easier every time

[Chorus 1]
And innocence, there goes an old friend
Who tries to show herself now and again
Since you can't take her along
Sure, you'll miss her, not for long
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Set the world on fire
Hope you make a killing
Set the world on fire
Die in burning buildings

[Chorus 2]
Innocence, there goes an old friend
(There goes an old friend)
Who tries to show herself now and again
(Tries to show herself now and again)
I remember you from way back when
(I remember, I remember)
Innocence, there goes an old friend
Since you can't take her along
Sure, you'll miss her, not for long
Breaking down and going wrong
Going so wrong
Mmmhmm
