Letters From Sing Sing

Lyrics for Letters From Sing Sing

I swore, there's no violence in my heart But some priors with firearms gave the judge enough proof To rule killing your man's no fluke My left eye hid behind its lid While the glass one was staring Into the endless midnight Of life locked away from you So I begged him to Plug me in And hit the switch Strike me with lighting I'll wear my dancing boots Of polished python skin And kick till she's smiling If killing's what I did Killed's what I should get Elena, you believe this place? It's called Sing Sing But there ain't no karaoke The guys get shy around spotlights But if the state's swayed by my case To resurrect the death house days And dust off Old Sparky You'll see how bright this songbird fries We'll harmonize when they Plug me in and hit the switch Strike me with lighting I want to hear you laugh like a little kid Through the crackling wires It'll sting a bit When the show begins And my blood's ignited But if we're reunited Baby I wont mind it Women want to send me photos I tell them how to pose Tape them up in my locker With halos of paint-pen gold In sleep, I climb their bodies In a steep, writhing heap At the top you kneel before me Howling like a preacher's dog in heat Plug me in and hit the switch Smite me with lighting Witness me ascend, glowing from within For My love burns brightly Flames won't cleanse This heart of sin So let's stop pretending No, you want vengeance Baby, come and get it
