Good Intent

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

But boy go try your luck

And you might get past

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 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

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've 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 it's strings

One false move and soon you're playing dice for a
