Now what's this...
I didn't burn your house down
Your tepid shallows of a failing brain...
Innocents
I never broke your windows
Who is if I'm not to blame...
Innocents
I didn't run to your rescue
In the who's who of capital gains....
Innocents
I never broke your windows
I never broke your rules
I never took to your tender ventetta
I didn't touch you family jewels
Revenge is a strong emotion
Friction is the mother of pearl
It's a disapproving, disappointing, disappearing world
I didn't break your hearts
I never tried to steal your car
I wouldn't know where to start
Don't blame me if your life's a bore
Not gonna look at your curves
Don't point your finger anymore
You're getting on my nerves
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense
I never broke your rules
I never took to your tender ventetta
Didn't touch you family jewels
Revenge is a strong emotion
Friction is the mother of pearl
It's a disapproving, disappointing, disappearing world
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense
I didn't hear you scream
Citizen's arrest
You've got to give Joe Public his cream
Murder is a powerful picture
It's food for the famished mass
But I didn't do your meter's
I'd never do things like that
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense
