The Wall

There's a lot of strange men in cell block ten
 But the strangest of em' all
 Was a friend of mine who spent his time
 Staring at the wall, staring at the wall
 In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote
 That it proves crime don't pay
 Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for
 Naming her wedding day, naming her wedding day
 As he looked at the wall
 So strong and tall
 I could hear him softly curse
 Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
 But I'm gonna be the first, I'm gonna be the first
 Then the warden walked by and said son don't try
 I'd hate to see you fall
 'Cause there is no doubt they'll carry you out
 If you ever touch that wall, if you ever touch that wall
 Well a years 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
 There's never been a man ever shook this camp
 But I knew a man who tried
 The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
 But I know it was suicide, I know it was suicide.
