Songtext:
There's A lot of strange men, in cell block ten
But the strangest of em' all
Was a friend of mine who speant his time
Starin' at the wall
Starin' at the wall
As He looked at the wall
So strong and tall
You could hear him softley curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first
Well the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt that they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
Well A Year's gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How Hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall
He never made that wall
Well there was never a man who shook his hand
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called that a jailbreak plan
But I knew it was suicide
I knew it was suicide
But the strangest of em' all
Was a friend of mine who speant his time
Starin' at the wall
Starin' at the wall
As He looked at the wall
So strong and tall
You could hear him softley curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first
I'm gonna be the first
Well the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt that they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
Well A Year's gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How Hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall
He never made that wall
Well there was never a man who shook his hand
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called that a jailbreak plan
But I knew it was suicide
I knew it was suicide
