Lyrics

[00:04.13] (CD Ver.)
[00:06.13]
[00:15.53] You heard the crickets of the early eve
[00:19.40] They lurk around the opening in two's & three's
[00:23.49] Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
[00:27.24] I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
[00:31.21]
[00:31.42] The red light in the doorway says she's armed
[00:35.36] But boy go try your luck and you might get pass
[00:39.11] Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
[00:43.14] Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
[00:47.21] You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
[00:51.12] There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
[00:54.99] You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
[00:58.92] You've got your reputation and your good intent
[01:05.92] Your good intent
[01:09.12]
[01:18.55] Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
[01:22.60] Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
[01:26.33] But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
[01:30.48] Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
[01:34.21] She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
[01:38.32] The shadow of a hunter under your torture
[01:42.19] It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
[01:46.07] You've tainted every moment till death do we part
[01:50.01]
[01:50.40] I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
[01:54.11] The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
[01:58.07] I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
[02:01.76] You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
[02:05.69]
[02:06.07] I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
[02:09.79] The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
[02:13.71] I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
[02:17.57] You got your reputation and your good intent
[02:24.51] Such a good intent
[02:28.20]
[02:37.53] It's not enough to hope for the best
[02:41.17] It's not enough to lie there on a brace
[02:45.17] The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
[02:49.11] One false move and soon you're playing dice for a
[02:53.22]
