An iron-born man In menacing manacles Told ME I'm the prisoner Blindly I burst into laughter Until he said You poor, silly goose, Is that a tie you're wearing? Or a noose? These invisible chains I can't shake loose For my light receptors Have been gauged out Two silver shekels Stuffed there in their stead Now the man in the shackles Gets to be the one who cackles i'll tread the path he knows so well For the captive learnt to love her cell

The penitentiary
An iron-born man In menacing manacles Told ME I'm the prisoner Blindly I burst into laughter Until he said You poor, silly goose, Is that a tie you're wearing? Or a noose? These invisible chains I can't shake loose For my light receptors Have been gauged out Two silver shekels Stuffed there in their stead Now the man in the shackles Gets to be the one who cackles i'll tread the path he knows so well For the captive learnt to love her cell
