Past the Mission

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos

I don't believe I went too far 
I said I was 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 
everyone wanted something from him 
I did too but I shut my mouth 
and he just gave me a smile

Hey they found a body 
not sure it was his they're using his name 
and she gave him shelter and somewhere I know she knows 
something only she knows
