    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
