Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your thoughts innocence
Ravaging your letters, unearth your plots innocence

Innocence

To don the robes of Torquemada, resurrect the inquisition
In that tortured subtle manner inflict questions within questions

Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
I trust you trust in me to mistrust you
Through the Silk Cut haze to the smeared mascara 
A 40 watt sun on a courtroom drama

And accusations moths that circle on the light 
Char their wings and spiral senseless suicidal flight
You packed your world within a suitcase, hot tears melt this icy palace
Dissolve a crystal swallowed by the night
Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
