In the prison of prevention Living is my only crime Both the warden and the inmate Wish to be the perfect child My parents never gave me rules They knew I'd never break them I'd long since forced myself Into complete cooperation But lately through security Has snuck a wild song It passes like a ghost through Every wall, though stout and strong While restlessly, I dream It steals me wholey from my cage Sends my spirit out a-dancing Past the guard in lolling daze In the morning, I'll awaken Safe and sound inside my cell But the key slipped in my pocket? Now that, I'll never tell ;)
