SINGING IN SING SING II

Like a drowning man clutching at a straw
Out in the middle of the lake
Like a dying man hoping that his heart
Is not ever going to break

I’m singing in Sing Sing now I am interned
I’ve still got my voice, oh haven’t you heard?
They can’t break my spirit as long as I can
Keep singing in Sing Sing, I’m still a free man.

Like a killing machine hoping that his hate
Will run out before it’s too late
Like a sorcerer believing his spells
Will save him from a hellish fate

I’m singing in Sing Sing now I am interned …

Like a gambler when his stake has gone
Knowing he can get back on top
Like a Christian being stoned alive
Aware that God is on his side

I’m singing in Sing Sing now I am interned …
