Jonty Keys - Mickey Finn Lyrics

He was a Saint and she was a sinner
Legerdemain when he takes her to dinner
Holds both her hands says he's backing a winner
But later that night he's about to extinguish her
Innocence, where have you gone
You can't just talk to anyone
Your judgement now, where has it been
Slipped away with Mickey Finn
Billy the businessman went to Chicago
He's doing a deal in the Lone Star saloon though
A housegirl called Mary has mixed him a drink so
He wakes up tomorrow stark naked and hollow
No innocence, his money gone
You can't just talk to anyone
Played a game he couldn't win
Rolled the dice with Mickey Finn
Reverend Reginald prays every night
To a God that he's hoping will keep out of sight
His persuasion of altar boys into the light
The sickness that he can't stop try as he might
All their innocence where has it gone
You can't be trusting anyone
Cos when he says, thou shalt not sin
It don't apply to Mickey Finn
All it takes is just one drink
You left alone, you didn't think
You didn't stay, you didn't look
That Mickey Finn don't give a
