The Beautiful Prison

From The Album
Looking At Life

Did someone buy you flowers
On Valentine’s Day
Did someone say I love you
Then just walk away
It wasn’t me but I apologize
For all the games we play
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison

Were you told the path was easy
Looking like you do
Were you told the doors would open
Like magic for the few
It wasn’t me but I apologize
Some get more than they are due
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison

We serve our time
We don’t know how long
What was the crime
What did we do wrong
What did we do wrong

Did someone try to tell you
The roads are all dead ends
And the worst of enemies
Can arrive disguised as friends
It wasn’t me but I apologize
No time to make amends
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison

Think of all the times you promised
Your heart to anyone
Who’d give your tired body
A moment in the sun
It wasn’t me but I apologize
For all the damage done
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison
In the beautiful…the beautiful prison

No bars of steel
Only bars of sky
To hold us here
Always asking why
Always asking why
