Don't remember much that night
I was takin' in the mess
But there was just one pretty site
The tattoo on her chest
I only saw the wing
It was sticking out bright orange
And I wish that bird
Would just take her away
Far away far away from here
Shots rang out shots rang out
She just shivered in the cold
She just wore a wedding band
She had a daughter three years old
And a hand full of men
Oh I still have dreams
About the hands of those men
They would pay her and rape her again
Shots rang out shots rang out
She went running through the night
Went running through the storm
Watched the bullet taking flight
Heard his head hit the floor
Heard the sirens coming fast
She just waited in the door
And here we sit
'Neath these prison walls
Wearing stripes
Wearing birds
And that's all
Wearing stripes
Wearing birds
And that's all
Shots rang out shots rang out Don't remember much that night I was takin' in the mess But there was just one pretty site The tattoo on her chest I only saw the wing It was sticking out bright orange And I wish that bird Would just take her away Far away far away from here Shots rang out shots rang out She just shivered in the cold She just wore a wedding band She had a daughter three years old And a hand full of men Oh I still have dreams About the hands of those men They would pay her and rape her again Shots rang out shots rang out She went running through the night Went running through the storm Watched the bullet taking flight Heard his head hit the floor Heard the sirens coming fast She just waited in the door And here we sit 'Neath these prison walls Wearing stripes Wearing birds And that's all Wearing stripes Wearing birds And that's all Explain Request ×
