From the album Killing Time
Lyrics by: Dave Mountain
Music by: Dave Mountain, Pete Schwacker, Pete Manning
Annie was bold when I knew nothing
She never waited to touch.
She knew what she wanted just a little too often;
Looking back, guess it wasn't that much.
We were stupid and brave as the young can be
In my car on a busy street;
We even did it once in the principal's office
And in gym, we were quick off our feet.
Lust, that was Annie
I never found out only she was cheap.
Couldn't take all that she had to give me
Looking back now, God, was it so steep?
I think of her now in her funeral black
A Goth girl with long dark knives.
She knew what she wanted just a little too often;
She's a cat who had lost some lives.
Be careful what you wish for, oh my Annie
Death's an acquired taste.
And too soon you'll learn of the failures of men
Who loved your ways and left the rest to waste.
Lust, that was Annie
I never found out only she was cheap.
I couldn't take all that she had to give me
Looking back now, God, was it so steep.
