According to the song’s Wikipedia page: “The song was originally going to appear on the City Of Angels soundtrack, however, songwriter Carl Bell felt the song was better suited to only appear on the band’s album.”
[Verse 1]
Satan, you know where I lie
Gently I go into that good night
[Chorus 1]
All our lives get complicated
Search for pleasure's overrated
Never armed our souls
For what the future would hold
When we were innocent
[Verse 2]
Angels, lend me your might
Forfeit all my lives to get just one right
[Chorus 2]
All those colors long since faded
All our smiles are confiscated
Never were we told
We'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent, yeah
[Bridge]
Yeah, this prayer is for me tonight
This far down that line and still ain't got it right
[Chorus 3]
Oh, and while confessions not yet stated
Our next sin is contemplated
Never did we know
What the future would hold
Or that we'd be bought and sold
When we were innocent, innocent
When we were innocent
Innocent was written by Carl Bell.
Innocent was produced by Carl Bell & Ben Grosse.
