Past the Mission (Live) [Vic Theatre, 24/03/94]

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

She said they all think they know him well

She knew him better, better, better

Everyone wanted something from him

I did too, but I shut my mouth

He just gave me a smile

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

Somewhere I know she knows

Somethings only she knows

[Chorus]

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

This time I smell the roses
