  • In the land of gods and monsters,
    I was an angel.
    Living in the garden of evil,
    Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed.
    Shining like a fiery beacon,
    You got that medicine I need
    Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly.
    Put your hands on my waist, do it softly.
    Me and God we don’t get along, so now I sing.

    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    Living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a fucked up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    Fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost.

    In the land of gods and monsters,
    I was an angel, lookin' to get fucked hard.
    Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer,
    Life imitates art
    You got that medicine I need
    Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please
    I don't really wanna know what's good for me
    God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'.

    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    Living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a fucked up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    Fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost.

    When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy,
    'Cause life imitates art.
    If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?
    You tell me life isn't that hard.

    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    I'm living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a fucked up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want.
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
