Tori Amos - Past The Mission
from the album "Under The Pink"
from the "Past The Mission" single
from the "Past The Mission" single (live)

I don't believe I went too far
I said that 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 something
Somewhere I know she knows something
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
