over the wall ii - john kander lyrics

Loading...

[prisoners]
where is the woman i call my wife?
waiting for me to resume my life?
guarding her -ss with a kitchen knife?
or scr-w-ng the janitor over the wall?

where is the friend in the photograph?
tender amigo who made me laugh?
splitting the sh-t with me half and half?
is he taking good care of it?
or stealing my share of it over the wall?

[molina]
so i sit on my cot and my memory whirls
as i think of the boys dressing up like girls
wearing too much mascara and phony pearls
over the wall

[prisoners]
where are the children who bear my name?
making a circle to play a game?
do they say to the neighbors i’m not to blame?
or spit at the thought of me over the wall?

[valentin]
so i wait in my cell, feeling half alive
sharing food with a rat, maybe four or five
while the rats with the power can all survive
over the wall

[all]
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall

over the wall
over the wall
over the wall!
