This Place Is A Prison Lyrics

Artist: The Postal Service
Album: Give Up

this place is a prison, these people aren't your friends
inhaling thrills through $20 bills and the
tumblers are drained and then flooded again and again

there's guards at the on ramps armed to the teeth
and you may case the grounds
from the cascades to puget sound,
but you are not permitted to leave

i know there's a big world out there
like the one i saw on the screen
in my living room late last night
it was almost too bright to see
i know that it's not a party
if it happens every night
pretending there's glamour and candelabra
when you're drinking by candlelight

what does it take to get a drink in this place?
what does it take, how long must i wait?

what does it take to get a drink in this place?
what does it take, how long must i wait?
