Past the Mission lyrics

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

Oh, I did too but I shut my mouth

and 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

And 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

And somewhere I know she knows

Somethings 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
