Tori Amos Past the Mission lyrics

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
Oh, I did too but I shut my mouth and 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
And 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
And 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
