Warren Zevon - Prison Grove lyrics

An icy wind burns and scars Rushes in like a fallen star Through the narrow space Between these bars Looking down on Prison Grove Dug in, hunkered down Hours race without a sound Gonna carry me to where I'm bound Looking down on Prison Grove Iron will hard as rock Hold me up for the fateful knock When they walk me down in a mortal lock Out on Prison Grove Shine on all these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me Knick Knack Paddy Wack They say you'll hear your own bones crack When they bend you back to bible black Then you'll find your love Some folks have to die too hard Some folks have to cry too hard Take one last look at the prison yard Goodbye Prison Grove Shine on all these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me
