The Afghan Whigs - What Jail Is Like Lyrics

Lyrics What Jail Is Like - The Afghan Whigs



I′ll warn you
If cornered
I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired
An animal
The claustrophobia begins
You think I′m scared of girls
Well maybe
But I'm not afraid of you
You wanna scare me
Then you'll cling to me
No matter what I do
Tell you a secret
We shared a needle once or twice
I loved her
She loved me
We slept together a couple of times
You think I′m proud of this
Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic
And cornered by the muse
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen
Again
Lonely
Or maybe
Or maybe not
It all depends
Your ideal
Your image
Your definition of a friend
If what you′re shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes
Much further than it was supposed to go
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen
And I will fall back into it again
I′ll warn you
If cornered
I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired
An animal
