Good Intent

Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 ♪
 You heard the crickets of the early eve
 They lurk around the opening in twos and threes
 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 (She's armed)
 But boy go try your luck and you might get past (Might get past)
 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
 Ooh, ooh, ohh
 Out to feed a habit when you sowed that seed
 Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
 But the air turns sombre and the night took thee
 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 (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, 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've got your reputation and your good intent
 Such a good intent
 Ooh, ooh
 It's not enough to hope for the best
 It's not enough to lie there on a breast
 The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
 One false move and soon you're playing dice for a-
