With Cfour white walls and a tortured brain
He Fstared into the flicker of a tiny flame

He could Csing a song, he could write a play
But they Fgave him the belt and said he'd never be saved

Mini lit a match as he boarded the train

He knew he shouldn't go but he couldn't remain

With four white walls and a tortured brain

He could sing a song, he could write a play

But they gave him the belt and said he'd never be saved
