Song Lyrics

"But Not For Long"

by Vigilantes Of Love
Album: To The Roof Of The Sky...

Given what you want, given what you need,
Given what you get, given what you have to bleed,
Bleed some more and I will not mind,
And I will not curse; I mean it most of the time.

Given all I am, Lord, kill these grand pretensions,
Fallen way too short with all my best intentions,
Moving much too fast, last chance on the line,
So you learn to lie; it gets easier every time.

Innocence, there goes an old friend who tries to show herself now and again,
Since you can't take her along, sure you'll miss her...not for long.

Set the world on fire, hope you make a killing,
Set the world on fire or die in burning buildings.

Innocence, there goes an old friend who tries to show herself now and again,
I remember you from way back when,
Innocence, there goes an old friend,
Since you can't take her along, sure you'll miss her...not for long,
Breaking down and going wrong.
