Innocence & Guilt Lyrics - Steve Harley

Dearest mama, everything will be all right now 

I will be safe 

It's only that the outside which I have not seen 

For so many long years 

During my divine exile 

Makes me a little nervous , mama 

But I think the time has come for your 

Unnamed warrior-child 

To make his presence obvious 

Don't you agree, mama ? 

Mama, are you listening to me, mama ? 

Are you there, mama ? 

Mama, come back, come back, come back, come back 

(mama: but I have things to do, dear) 

Mama, I am blinded 

I feel nothing save death 

It all seems to come up from behind me and hit me like 

An avalanche 

I feel nothing save evil 

Repossess me, mama, repossess me, mama 

Help me to escape from this lunatic inheritance 

Repossess me, mama, repossess 

(mama: ha-ha-hee-hee-ha)
