Oh it's raining, raining, raining here this morning. As I sit in jail and hang my head in shame. With a smile I try to greet each early dawning. But they've given me a number for my name.
Tell me now, are you loving your life?. Tell me now, do you get your sleep at night?. Tell me now, have you found yourself begging for a way out?. Your maze has no lights..
