Tori Amos lyrics

Past the Mission

I don’t believe I went too far
I said I was willing willing willing
She said she knew what my books did not
I thought she knew what’s up

Past the mission behind the prison tower
Past the mission I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission they’re closing every hour
Past the mission I smell the roses

She said they all think they know him well
She knew him better better better
Everyone wanted something from him
I did too but I shut my mouth
He just gave me a smile

Past the mission behind the prison tower
Past the mission I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission they’re closing every hour
Past the mission I smell the roses
Past the mission I smell the roses

Hey they found a body
Not sure it was his
still they’re using his name
and she gave him shelter
and somewhere I know she knows
Somewhere I know she knows
Somethings only she knows


Past the mission behind the prison tower
Past the mission I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission they’re closing every hour
Past the mission I smell the roses

Past the mission behind the prison tower
Past the mission I once knew a hot girl
Past the mission they’re closing every hour
Past the mission I smell the roses
Past the mission I smell the roses
Past the mission I smell the roses
