Now and again
An innocent shines
Out from the crowd and scenes
That roll down the streets
The inhuman streams
Down from the trees
And up from their knees
Jump overboard
Strike for the shore
Leave your clothes to the fire
Counting the days your innocence paid
You can play it, re-arrange it
You can change your mind
Tell me how the horrors escape
As we follow their trail 'til dark
Once for the need
Twice for the thrill
Into the groves
Into the groves
Wash up ashore
Follow the call
Leave your debts behind you
Counting the ways that innocence pays
You can play it, re-arrange it
You might change your mind

In the big city heat
A photo can fade
Who were the saints of old?
Keep a brush at your heels
And cover your tracks
Aim for the higher
Ground in the field
Jump overboard
Strike for the shore
Leave your clothes to the fire
Counting the days your innocence paid
You can play it, re-arrange it
You can change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind
