San Quentin

Windy coastal california,
cradle me city of angels
I know i know it wont come easily
Return to the source of light, indefinately
Call a cab, 6 am, do it just before im drivin(?)
Hold up scene check, am I crazy
Greet him then release him from mental slavery
Walk the line, penitentiary (?)
Feelin offshore and come blanket me
We've been like waterfalls to the call of the ocean
Grandfather, please bring me your medicine
I've come a long way to tell you this story
There's no turning back now
Angels come when you least expect them
I've seen some crazy dreams manifested
He said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
He said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
Come come away, away
Come come away, away
Way way way way way I washed it away(?)
Come come away, away
Come come away, away
Way way way way way I washed it away(?)
Sun I sly west San Francisco(?)
Have you ever met an Angel?
I know, i know only the half of it
One side of the story now I cannot forget
Here we go, another chapter one step closer
Needed some closure, crossed a couple borders
Got into the mind of a tortured warrior
"I alone am responsible for a darkest past"(?)
On a journey from the head to heart
Do you think you can last?
Well maybe these are growing pains for such eloquence
Grandmother came and brought the evidence
I've come a long way to tell you this story
There's no turning back now
Angels come when you least expect them
I've seen some crazy dreams manifested
He said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
He said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
Come come away, away
Come come away, away
Way way way way way I washed it away(?)
Come come away, away
Come come away, away
Way way way way way I washed it away(?)
I may be a stranger, but I come as a brother
We are not so different from one another
The man that you become and the child that you are
Your anger be the strength, but it only goes so far.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
He said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
A life for a life, I give mine to you.
A life for a life, I give mine to you."
