A Cell for Salieri
nine months afloat in a well
never see much past the shell
never know heaven from hell
got rid of my tail halfway through
nothing to worry my head
never's a word never said
never know living from dead
and hopeful that I never do
safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll hunker down
safe inside a cell
soon I burst into this place
chairman of the beauty and grace
they shoved it right back in my face
got sent here to get rid of me
nurse rings the thirty-year bell
candles and white clientele
"Back you go into your cell.
You're better when we let you be
safe and sound.
You'll stay here.
You'll settle down.
Safe inside your cell."
safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll settle down
safe inside a cell
never see much past the shell
never know heaven from hell
got rid of my tail halfway through
nothing to worry my head
never's a word never said
never know living from dead
and hopeful that I never do
safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll hunker down
safe inside a cell
soon I burst into this place
chairman of the beauty and grace
they shoved it right back in my face
got sent here to get rid of me
nurse rings the thirty-year bell
candles and white clientele
"Back you go into your cell.
You're better when we let you be
safe and sound.
You'll stay here.
You'll settle down.
Safe inside your cell."
safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll settle down
safe inside a cell
