Got me a mynah, but it can't talk I got a wolfhound, it don't walk Turn me a corner, I can't see round Climb me a mountain, I can't see down Wearing shackles - ball and chain Working suit - faded grey Soulless boots - very plain Gathering darkness - day by day Want a number - please refer Prisoner - prisoner Want a number - call return Prisoner I got a window, I can't see through Where is it? In my bathroom Got me a firkin, ain't got no cup I got a crater, I can't fill up Got me a mirror, that don't reflect A rabbit's foot, that don't protect Wearing shackles - ball and chain Working suit - faded grey Soulless boots - very plain Gathering darkness - day by day Want a number - please refer Prisoner - prisoner Want a number - call return Prisoner Got me a halo that's prone to slip Leans to the left on equality Out there's an ocean of leaky junks And bible belts and defrocked monks I got a record and that's a crime An enemy, by god he's doing time Wearing shackles - ball and chain Working suit - faded grey Soulless boots - very plain Gathering darkness - day by day Want a number - please refer Prisoner - prisoner Want a number - call return Prisoner
