Letter to a Friend in Jail Lyrics

can you see this hotel from your cell?
can you sleep and do they feed you well?
it`s been months since i`ve had any word.
on the only tape of you i have your speech is slurred.
here`s some news for you from the outside:
everyone`s gone blind from trying to hide.
the vintage arcade`s been hauled away,
it looks more and more like a prison every day.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.

the warden can`t forgive our midnight kiss.
he doesn`t know it's me that`s sending this. there`s a file baked into this tart,
but it won`t cut through the cell bars in your heart.
you didn`t have to confess all of it,
you could`ve held on to the costly bits.
of your crime i still have not been swayed.
i think you`re the only one who`s been betrayed.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.

if you want me to i`ll wait for you.
if you ask me to i`ll wait for you.
if you don`t i`ll walk my silent mile.
i`m so damaged by what came out at the trial.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.
ah, letter to a friend in jail.
ah, letter to a friend in jail...
