Letter to a Friend in Jail

Can you see this hotel from your cell?

Can you sleep and do they feed you well?

It's been months since I've had any word

On the only tape of you I have your speech is slurred

Here's some news for you from the outside

Everyone's gone blind from trying to hide

The vintage arcade's been hauled away

It looks more and more like a prison every day

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I

The warden can't forgive our midnight kiss

He doesn't know it's me that's sending this

There's a file baked into this tart

But it won't cut through the cell bars in your heart

You didn't have to confess all of it

You could have held on to the costly bits

Of your crime I still have not been swayed

I think you're the only one that's been betrayed

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

If you want me to, I'll wait for you

If you ask me to, I'll wait for you

If you don't I'll walk my silent mile

I'm still damaged by what came out of the trial

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail

I wrote it to a friend in jail
