Prison Song

歌詞

The jury found him guilty Sent him down for seven years Though he acted like they gave him life He couldn't stop the tears And when we went to visit him He didn't want to know Seems like jail sent him off the rails Just like Marilyn Monroe His mind's gone dancing Can't stand dancing They showed him to a doctor And after routine tests A prescription note the doctor wrote For the chronically depressed And now the tears have stopped He sits and counts the days to go And treats his ills with daily pills Just like Marilyn Monroe They stop his mind from dancing Stop it dancing With grace for good behaviour He got out before his time The family and the neighbours told him He was lookin' fine But he's feelin' fifteen years older And his speech is rather slow And his neighbours said You'd think he was dead Like Marilyn Monroe No cause for dancing No more dancing
