Lyrics The Cell - Leslie West

The Cell

There was a time when I was young, I used to dream
Bad livin' high in the hill and living like a king
Through the years I remember my living in the streets
«If you ain’t got what it takes, take everything you need»
Ma, would you love me?
I couldn’t see for now I believe
Taking what’s not yours is a serious crime
My name is 8 653 011 — I live in cell 65
They own me 24 hours the day, took my freedom away
I got nothing but time, time, time…
Everywhere I go, somebody’s watching me
What a blame in their eye — why don’t you let me be?
To survive I got to face reality
And know no one gives a damn 'bout me
Ma, would you love me?
I couldn’t see for now I believe
Taking what’s not yours is a serious crime
My name is 8 653 011 — I live in cell 65
They own me 24 hours the day, took my freedom away
I got nothing but time, time, time…
