When it comes on, it puts you in a cell.
On a row, you're alone, you have no roommate. 
This is nice and cozy, this is safe. 

Now the light's a little dim
Your appeals have run dry,
no use to try.
Fetters on the mind
the bars are thick
and the guards are unseen, but there.

Banging your spoon on your bowl
to hear sound. Nobody speaks. 
When you hear a voice, it's your own
giving you some company. 
This is nice and cozy, this is safe
no – this is maddening. 

Scratching lines on the wall to represent the years
they're piling up, and you're in here.
It's getting a little lonely. 
I hear the world outside is a jumble of sound and love
but it doesn't come through these walls. 

So, now they finally come
and lead me from the cell
oh, but a bitter, cynical smile. 
Its not come to let me go. 
They lead me to another room and here they strap me down. 

Well, this may be nice and cozy, this may be safe. 
It brings me
From cell to casket, laughing all the way.
