You heard the crickets of the early eve
They lurk around the opening in two's and three's
Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
The red light in the doorway says she's armed
But you can try your luck and you might get pass
Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
Peek into the panic for a kick and swell
You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Good intent
Out to feed the habit when you've sowed that seed
And nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
The air turns sombre and the night took heed
I take you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, left you lying in the dirt
The shadow of a hunter under your torture
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
You've tainted every moment till death do we part
Ooh
I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
Your pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
Your pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Such a good intent
It's not enough to hope for the best
It's not enough to lie there on a breast
There's ligers on the prowl and pulling the strings
One false move and soon you're playing dice for a-
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
Your pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Good intent
Oh, your good intent
Oh, I know you didn't mean it...
