   Prisoners

 

 

  作词：Regina Spektor

  

  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 shit 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
