Past the Mission - Live at Vic Theatre, Chicago, IL, 3/24/1994; 2015 Remaster
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
Well, 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
(She whispers again)
Somewhere I know she knows
(She whispers again)
Some things 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
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
Well, 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
(She whispers again)
Somewhere I know she knows
(She whispers again)
Some things 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
