You came to
see me yesterday,
I asked you how you'd been . . . .
And watching as you drove away
I could smell you on my skin.
Then I walked back to my cell
And sank into this pit of hell;
I count the days and wait for it to end.
CHORUS:
Take me far away from here:
Beyond this razor wire --
We'll do some lines and have some beers
And sit beside the fire;
Let's catch up on the things I've missed --
I know there's more to life than this.
I can't wait to taste your kiss
And look into your eyes.
Parole board
tells me "Go to Hell" --
I'd like to take 'em with me.
I don't hear from the kids no more,
I wonder if they miss me.
These years I've lost are gone to stay.
It feels like I might fade away.
I get tired, old and grey
As I wait my turn to go.
(CHORUS)
The monkeys
holler all the time,
I guess they must be deaf;
Tough guy living down the row
Sucks dick for cigarettes;
The baby rapers thump the Bible --
Tower, throw me down a rifle
And I'll help Jesus love 'em all to death.
CHORUS:
Yeah, take me far away from here
Beyond this razor wire.
We'll do some lines and drink some beer
And sit beside the fire. . . .
Let's catch up on the things I've missed
There's so much more to life than this
I can't wait to taste your kiss
And look into your eyes
OUTRO:
Take me far away from here
Beyond this razor wire
We'll do some lines and have some beers
And sit beside the fire
This prison's just a thief of time;
It's like a cancer in my mind
And I can't wait to hold you close
And lay down by your side. . . .
