"The Crowded Cell" lyrics
"The Crowded Cell"
I'm in a crowded cell
The super calls my name
He shoves me in a room
He calls two soldiers in
They clamp my head with irons
Their hands becoming fists
You will see us again
You will remember this
They tie me up with ropes
They beat my legs with sticks
I cannot use my legs
They drag me to a desk
Behind it sits a man
Fingernails are on the floor
He laughs and asks, "What kind
Of freedom do you want?"
They push me down the stairs
I'm lying on the ground
Behind a cellar door
I hear two women howl
I see three men on rags
Their hands tied to their feet
Their faces pinched with clamps
Guards pulling at their teeth
They drag me to the gates
They dump me on the ground
The super laughs and says
"Walk to your freedom now"
This image on repeat
A mouth that cannot speak
A huge force pressing in
A giant, looming fist
You will see us again
You will remember this

Scott Walker - "It's Raining Today" It's raining today
and I'm just about to forget the train window girl
That wonderful day we met
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette
It's raining today
But once there was summer and you
And...
Mattiel - "Count Your Blessings" Your shoes keep turning different shades of blue
The colors of the other fools before you
And skin keeps turning different shades of red
The colors of the other voice that's swimming in your head...
Tricky - "Makes Me Wonder" Kiss me a while
And give me your soul
Kiss me a while
And just one more
Makes me wonder
Miss me slow
Always heartache
Just won't go
I am one that
You don't know
Leave me looking
Without soul
Leave...
Andrew Bird - "Bloodless" They're profiting from your worry
They're selling blanks down at the DMZ
They're banking on the sound and fury
Makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me
Bloodless for now
I'm keeping mine...
