bright eyes - christmas in prison lyrics

[verse 1]
it was christmas in prison, the food was real good
we had turkey and pistols carved out of wood
i dream of her always, even when i don’t dream
her name’s on my tongue and her blood’s in my stream

[chorus]
wait awhile, eternity
old mother nature’s got nothing on me
so come to me, run to me, come to me now
we’re rolling, my sweetheart, we’re flowing, by god

[verse 2]
she reminds me of a chess game with someone i admire
or a picnic in the rain after a prairiе fire
her heart is as big as this wholе godd+mn jail
and she’s sweeter than saccharin at a drug store sale

[chorus]
wait awhile, eternity
old mother nature’s got nothing on me
come to me, run to me, come to me now
we’re rolling, my sweetheart, we’re flowing, by god

[bridge]
man, oh man
i just love christmas
it’s just so [?]
i kinda wish everyday was christmas
except for christmas eve
and the fourth of july
[?] fireworks [?]
when i was a kid, we used to get the christmas care and love
they got me words in chicago
sometimes we’d get it as early as late august
there was the big book of wishes, ops, desires
my three brothers and i were [?] twenty five bucks a piece
including taxes
so i’d make up a different christmas list every night from the 1st of december to… 24th of december
matter of fact, let me present you my christmas credentials
when i was three years old, this is my mother [?]
i ate an entire onion and a big red [?] apple
they kinda freaked out and was gonna take me to the hospital
but they couldn’t stop me from laughing
they just left me alone
so i guess that’s [?] in the old time, you know?
then there was the year that my mom and dad gave me my first guitar
oh man, it was gorgeous! i still got the thing
i was, uh, like aqua blue
and a dark aqua blue
a cream color [?]
the model was called kentucky blue
and man, [?] tree
i just couldn’t wait
first year, so i didn’t know how to play
i’d just stand in front of the mirror and scream
put around my neck that guitar and turn like elvis
then my brother one day taught a couple chords
and now i’m here in your living room singing and talking to you, haha
it’s funny how things work out
so… why [?]
you see somebody looks like they– they ain’t doing quite as well as you
[?]
goodbye your honey at cuckoo club
our musical snow+shaking water ball
the one you [?] at the place
i want you, i need you, i love you, with all my heart
’cause after all, yeah man, it’s christmas
[verse 3]
the searchlight in the big yard swings round like a gun
and spotlights the snowflakes like the dust in the sun
it’s christmas in prison, there’ll be music tonight
and i’ll probably get homesick, i love you, goodnight

[chorus]
wait awhile, eternity
old mother nature’s got nothing on me
come to me, run to me, come to me now
we’re rolling, my sweetheart, we’re flowing, by god
