Ingénue what have we done to you?

Under that soft skin

I hear a ticking

When you crest the wave of lust

Chorus:

So take all you can

From the mouth of man

Verse 2:

Ingénue framed like a cartoon

The borders clear and defined

The colors bold and bright

You'll want to be taken more seriously

But they just play a cue

And it's such a hard thing to do

Chorus:

So take all you can

From the mouth of man

And escape from this town

Before your sand runs out

G C

Ingénue, what will become of you?

Cuts valleys into your face

The currency of being twenty-three

Oh, Ingénue

What have we done to you?
