Cold, Cold Walls

When you're all alone, do you think to atone, when you feel a cold chill way down in your
bones
What do you say, what do you do honey babe, when it's only the cold, cold walls, do
you pray when it's only the cold, cold walls

When the last thing you said, echoes loud in your head, and you can't even hide in the sheets
on your bed
Where do you run, what do you do, poor son, when it's only the cold, cold walls, not your gun,
but it's only the cold, cold walls

It's an eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth
Then what does a crooked heart pay?
Ain't a wall of a prison as cold and as blue
As the quiet at the end of your day

On your last dollar bill, would you die on that hill, would you stand by those words that you
swore to me still
Will the god you pretend, to believe save you then, when it's only the cold, cold walls my friend,
when it's only the cold, cold walls

Not the taxman, the heat, nor the grim reaper seem
Quite as heavy as that white hot lamp
Burning bright and too clear in a room full of mirrors
That see all the sides that I am

Do you ask for forgiveness, with no one to witness, for all of the debts of your unfinished
business
What will you say, what do you do, honey babe, when it's only the cold, cold walls, do you pray
when it's only the cold, cold walls"
