Within the influence of innocence You were dressed to k** Pulling styles from the atmosphere You could have dressed us all As we surrendered to the worn jets "Impossible to crash, Impossible to fail" Like the dim lights on the dash As we were pulling out of anywhere on any other road Now I can tell by the way the rain hits the gla** That it wants to be cold It wants to be snow Is it falling there Obscuring small fires That deign another shining front-page spread Where old worn men conspire? So much for Saturdays And other days when lives are at stake God forgive us for the hatred For the risks that we take Boys forget promises from both coasts Well, what would it take to get out now?
Is this what they call the end? Are we sleeping on a dark star? Is this some saint we all forgot? Is she burning in a parked car? Because violence is so, so slow And the patience will do us in So mothers stop looking for your sons in the woods Because you will find them on CNN That's when you will try, try But you can't evict the sun It lights up one hour every morning every day When you know you are the one So much for Saturdays And other days when lives are at stake God forgive us for the hatred For the risks that we take Boys forget promises from both coasts What would it take? Forget promises from both coasts What would it take?
