lyrics

Forbidden images
(I drew them all myself)
On the jailhouse wall
(My contribution to this world)
Speak a thousand words
No need to tell the guard

Ahhhh
AHhhh
Ahhhh
Hidden women of Alcatraz

If you are a gentleman
(Step right up and watch my hands)
Show me the sign that you are hip
(Don't tell a soul what you see here)
I've got a box of special friends
(For you to hide, for you to high)
Gotta keep em' safe, gotta keep em' thin
(Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy)

What does freedom mean to you?
What else is there here to do?

Did ya get that thing i sent?
(It's just for you, it's just for you)
O' won't you tell me how it fits
(You're lookin' good, you're lookin' good)
If we ever make it off The Rock
(Give me a call, give me a call)
I'll be doing work in a San Francisco parking lot

I'd like to join you there my dear
But I'll be on Alcatraz through my twighlight years

Dear mom and dad
You know, it's really not so bad
I'm making lots of friends
There's a lot to buy on the menu here

Ahhhh
AHhhh
Ahhhh
Hidden women of Alcatraz

Ahhhh
AHhhh
Ahhhh
AHhhh

If you are a gentleman
(Step right up and watch my hands)
Show me the sign that you are hip
(Don't tell a soul what you see here)
I've got a box of special friends
(For you to hide, for you to high)
Gotta keep em' safe, gotta keep em' thin
(Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy)

AS I gaze upon the bay
Won'dring if I could make it all the way
I think I'll try it anyway
What've I got to lose but the seabirds and the blues?
