Prisoners Lyrics - Songs - 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—yo' 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah 

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 still little and. 

Someday I will remember 

Someday I will remember 

Someday I will remember
