lyrics

I'm trying to get out of this prison cell
I can't stand the cold and I can't take the smell
I'm biding my time until the moment's just right
I beat a man senseless without a fight

I'm trying to find my way out of a bind
I've got a woman outside of a decent kind
waiting outside in a different kind of world
trying real hard to be my girl

I couldn't help but notice
someone standing over
It's a long time since I lord said a prayer
and as the lights got lower
and the voices faded out
there's the making of a saint right there

Nothing in this world seems fair
take it all away man I don't care
I know I've only got myself to blame
it's a false confession all the same

My head is right down and my nose is kept clean
the walls have ears and those ears are mean
on just one occasion I stepped out of line
but you can't take more than a whole lifetime

I couldn't help but notice
someone standing over
It's a long time since I lord said a prayer
and as the lights got lower
and the voices faded out
there's the making of a saint right there
