Prison Lyrics by Sidney Hiltson

2016

The nights in the garden staring up at the stars
Talking about our future and drinking at bars
What did they do to you you were never the same
What did you see inside that place
The hours in the car watching time slide by
Singing in the passenger seat all night
What ever happened you returned so changed
We started a new life you had a new name

Put you in a suit and tied you to a chain
Locked you in a cell and closed all the gates
You’re gonna spend the next few years this way
Don’t forget to keep track of time
Only feelin’ somethin’ when you cryin’ in the shower
They took your control and buried your power
Well now that you’re out of that damn tower
They’ll never take you alive

It doesn’t matter how long we wait now
We can drive outta state ‘til we fall down
It don’t make a difference when the sun sets
All that matters now is runnin’ from death

From a street boy
To a criminal
Robbin’ drug stores
Was so minimal
You say you killed a man
He was your first one
You blamed your cell mate
And now his time is done
You made a few friends
And they taught you
How to survive
When their time is through
And after they’d gone
To the gallows
You almost killed yourself
You were so close

Put you in a suit and tied you to a chain
Locked you in a cell and closed all the gates
You’re gonna spend the next few years this way
Don’t forget to keep track of time
Only feelin’ somethin’ when you cryin’ in the shower
They took your control and buried your power
Well now that you’re out of that damn tower
They’ll never take you alive

It doesn’t matter how long we wait now
We can drive outta state ‘til we fall down
It don’t make a difference when the sun sets
All that matters now is runnin’ from death

Haleluja
I’m fallin’ in love
We don’t need no God
Cause we still full of blood
The radio is free
Just like you and me
Got a whole world to see
Got a whole American Dream

From a street boy
To a criminal
Robbin’ drug stores
Was so minimal
You say you killed a man
He was your first one
You blamed your cell mate
And now his time is done
You made a few friends
And they taught you
How to survive
When their time is through
And after they’d gone
To the gallows
You almost killed yourself
You were so close
