Intro Chords…
Verse 1:
This place is a prison...and these people aren’t your friends...
And hailing thrills...through twenty dollar bills...and the tumblers are
drained and then flooded...again and again...
Chorus [no vocals]
Verse 2:
There’s guards at the on-ramps...armed to the teeth...
And you may trace the grounds from the Cascades to Pugent Sound...
But you are not permitted...to leave...
Chorus:
I know there’s a big world out there...like the one that I saw on the
screen...
In my living room late last night...it was almost to bright to be
seen...
I know that it’s not a party..it happens every night...
Pretending there’s glamour...and candelabra...When your…
Drinking by candlelight...
Outro:
.........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?
.............How long must I wait?
