Capital
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to unfold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now
I was young and angry, thin and tan
I was just fifteen when I shot the man
And when his daughter took the stand -
My mind was slave to dreams of guilt
I left the dreams that I had built back then
The plaintiff screamed and my mother cried
The judge redeemed, my lawyer lied
I tried to go lay down and die
The years have slowed the time does sway
I tried so hard to pass away for a while
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to un fold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now

Capital
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to unfold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now
I was young and angry, thin and tan
I was just fifteen when I shot the man
And when his daughter took the stand -
My mind was slave to dreams of guilt
I left the dreams that I had built back then
The plaintiff screamed and my mother cried
The judge redeemed, my lawyer lied
I tried to go lay down and die
The years have slowed the time does sway
I tried so hard to pass away for a while
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to un fold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to unfold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now
I was young and angry, thin and tan
I was just fifteen when I shot the man
And when his daughter took the stand -
My mind was slave to dreams of guilt
I left the dreams that I had built back then
The plaintiff screamed and my mother cried
The judge redeemed, my lawyer lied
I tried to go lay down and die
The years have slowed the time does sway
I tried so hard to pass away for a while
The prison walls they stand so cold
The days ahead are the days of old
The life once lived stands to un fold
The needle stung as the lights did dim
I thought I would be seeing him by now
