You heard the crickets of the early eve
They lurk around the opening in two´s & 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 boy go try your luck and you might get pass
Step into the dwelling of the liger´s mouth
Peer 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
Your good intent

Out to feed that habit when you´ve sowed that seed
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, now you´re 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

I know you didn´t mean it, boy you meant so well
The 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
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn´t mean it when you counted to ten
You 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 brace
The liger´s on the prowl now you´ve pulled its strings
One false move and soon you´re playing dice for a
