STUPID QUESTIONS
(Sullivan) 1987

It's not a crime to be innocent, these things we have not done
But you're not some little child, spring is past and gone
Well I know my craving heart and I've seen your vicious eyes
And I think we know the truth, both you and I
Don't flutter your lashes like a little girl
And ask me why it's such a cruel, cruel world, no
Ch: Don't ask any more stupid questions
You already know the answers to

Well you can kill with the best of them but your smile remains so sweet
When someone comes to eat me alive, I like to see their teeth
If you really want I can name the names
Be an angel of death at the children's games, so
Ch: Don't ask any more stupid questions
You already know the answers to - I know that you do
There comes a time in your life you've got to grow up fast
And I think that your time is coming now here at last

It's not a crime to be innocent , these things we have not done
But you cannot run forever, spring is past and gone
Waiting in line at the fortune teller
Waiting to hear some more pretty lies, he says
Ch: Don't ask any more stupid question
