The Prison Song

Two demons came visiting with me last night

And they whispered their temptations in the pale moonlight

And I could not sleep for listening to those demons by my side

And now I'm back in the prison again

Now my last night of freedom was a long and easy night

I pressed my head against the wall with those demons by my side

I pressed my palms against my ears, blazing hot and freezing cold

And now I'm back in the prison again

Back in the prison with my skin and my bones

I've got holes in my shoes and a long walk home

I've got hell to pay and a pocket full of stones

And now I'm back in the prison again

Breakfast this morning and two demons rose me up

They fed me strong black coffee from a broken yellow cup

They fed me sweet temptations and a bottle full of lies

So I did what I did, that's why they brought me here to die

And now I'm back in the prison with my skin and my bones

I've got holes in my shoes and a long walk home

I've got hell to pay and a pocket full of stones

And now I'm back in the prison again

And now I'm back in the prison again
