REGINA SPEKTOR lyrics : "Prisoners"

All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and

For the bars to somehow magically break

Aw, There's nothing wrong with them

That a thousand bucks can't fix
That a thousand arms can't hold down
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with

Cusses like cavemen - your momma was here

But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles

Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
With the people all dead.


If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
Then none of this %#@! would have ever gone down

In my cell I'm tattooing myself with
Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little

And someday I will remember

Someday I will remember

Someday I will remember
