lyrics

Lose my breath,
When my body's for sale.
In the test of life I fail,
And you'll see me in the penitentiary oh yeah that's where I'll be.

Only fools and horses work,
So I'll take my time,
Numb my brain and go bezerk,
And you'll see me in the penitentiary oh yeah that's where I'll be.

Hold me in the dark,
Hold me down forever ever.
I know where we are,
Falling apart with the weather weather,
So tie my shoes,
Walk me down to the city city,
Pick and choose all the places my mind it should be.

Born again,
I'm finally free.
Smile for,
The camera please,
When you see me in the penitentiary oh yeah that's where I'll be.

Hold me in the dark,
Hold me down forever ever.
I know where we are,
Falling apart with the weather weather,
So tie my shoes,
Walk me down to the city city,
Pick and choose all the places my mind it should be.

Shed my skin and watch it fly,
I'd rather live you'd rather die,
When you see me in the penitentiary oh yeah that's where I'll be.
