240220: The Prison Shuffle

from Leap Songs, Part 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Matching outfits on the dance floor
One more secret whispered slow
Sharing appetizers
Trading deep desires
No more midnights all alone

Orange stripes across the mess hall
Danger's coming rumors fly
Steal my cold spaghetti
And tell me something heavy
Nothing quite like serving time

Prison shuffle let's all
Do the prison shuffle

Sleeping late on lazy Sundays
Bright and early Monday morn
Tell me what you think
Of my brand new ink
It's like I've been reborn

Oh the days all blend together
Except when they raid your cell
Did my own tattoo
There's nothing left to lose
But the bible on my shelf
