Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again
Like you, mama
You, mama
You
[Verse 2]
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here (If we ever get out of here)
[Verse 3]
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
"I hope you're having fun"
[PreChorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
[Chorus]
For the band on the run
Band on the run
For the band on the run
Band on the run
[Verse 4]
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run
[PreChorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man
And sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
[Chorus]
For the band on the run
Band on the run
[Chorus]
Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
The band on the run (Yeah)
Band on the run
[Verse 5]
Well, the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found
[PreChorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run
And the county judge
Who held a grudge
Will search forevermore
[Chorus]
For the band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run (Yeah)
The band on the run (Yeah)
