The Wall - Live Version
There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
But the strangest of em' all
Was a friend of mine who spent his time
Starin' at the wall
Starin' at the wall
As he looked at the wall so strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first
Then the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
'Cause there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
There's never been a man who shook this camp
But I knew a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide
But the strangest of em' all
Was a friend of mine who spent his time
Starin' at the wall
Starin' at the wall
As he looked at the wall so strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first
Then the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
'Cause there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
There's never been a man who shook this camp
But I knew a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide
