Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath the deep blue skies
Didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by

Well, happily ever after fails
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
Lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly

Oh and I know a place where we can go
Still untouched by men
Sit and watch the clouds roll by
The tall grass waves in the wind
Lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence

Oh beautiful for s___ious skies
Now those skies are threatening
We're beating plowshares into swords
For that tired old man we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
And lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to lie

Oh and I know a place where we can go
And wash away their sin
Sit and watch the clouds roll by
The tall grass waves in the wind
Lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence

Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far so fast
But somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye

Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end
This is the end of the innocence
