All these years I might have gotten the lyrics wrong, but I'd like to offer them as a unique take.
I hear the opening as "innocent of innocence I am", which also means guilty. This part is a quibble but I hear "such a nice day to throw your life away".
At the end I always thought it was "I'm on dope. I give you hope. Use the rope. Use the rope. Give me my cigarette." Like he's a condemned man.
Owell just some right thoughts about wrong words :-P. It's so hard to unhear what goes in during youth!
