The Innocence Mission

The Innocence Mission (stylized as the innocence mission on all releases since 1995) is an American alternative rock band centered on husband-and-wife singer-songwriters Karen and Don Peris. The original group, including Mike Bitts (bass guitar) and Steve Brown (drums), was formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early 1980s when the members met during a Catholic school production of Godspell. Although all members of the band have contributed musically, Karen Peris is its principal writer. more »

You get out of my head now, honey
You get out of my head
You and your colors
You and your painting
I can forget you
Probably

You stay out of my way now, honey
You just stay out of my way
This is my Grace Coast
This is my homeland
You're always coming and going

But I always comeback
I am drawn to this place
As I'm drawn to you
As I'm drawn to you
As I'm drawn to you
A moth to the light
To the light

Let's talk about your freedom
Talk about my lack of it
Let's talk about my feelings
Talk about your lack of them
You preach such beauty
You miss the point

You go down with your friends every day
You go down to the sea
Light on the water
For the light on the water
I work the whole day
You chase the light

Look out there!
Can't you see what I see?

Go paint the ladies on the beach
They mean nothing to me
They are part of the scenery
I don't know why you go on this way
With crinolines and parasols
To shade their beautiful faces
From the sunlight that you love so well
I love you more, I love you more
Isn't that funny?
No, I don't think that's funny
I think it's funny

So, you get out of my head now, won't you
Just stay out of my head
Move down the coastline
Move to a new town
And don't say you love me
What does that mean?
I don't want to keep you bottled in my glass
You are a free moth
Go chase the light
