Cell Block 7

in da cage

Cell Block 7

yeah crank those super tweeters

let me feel the burning in my ears

I've been locked away in prison

for almost twenty-three years

they searched here and everywhere

trying to find my soul

but it was locked in my memory

that was the one thing they never stole

so now I'm free from the proding

no more bend it over and spread

they thought they were messing with me

but they had no idea what was in my head

I was jammin with Joe Bonamassa

and Eric C. sometimes came too

the only bending was on the 16^th fret

triple harmonies screaming into the blue

wash those shirts dig that dirt

rake the garden get all the weeds

they didn't realize I was getting good stuff

the kind with really big seeds

so when they threw me to the floor

and yelled see how you like cell block 7

I just grinned from ear to ear

they had no idea I was heading to heaven

yeah they tried to take my dignity

they were just wasting their time

I wasn't going anywhere inside my head

I was busy looking for a line to rhyme

[Gandré]

You are so very creative, so good to see you still writing! Another great lyrics, such a special blues melancholy, I love this line, "triple harmonies screaming into the blue".

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a great piece that shows the power of the mind. It will do almost anything to survive and get us through those times when we think we can't handle it.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A most delicate and intrict piece, it flows perfectly and wells the emotions of loss in all readers, well done, great read.
