I’m stuck in a prison cell
Sometimes it feels like a living hell
But I close my mind to all that surrounds me
I read my books to set my mind free.
Murder, mystery, suspense and adventure
Education, romance and science fiction
But I still haven’t read about anyone
In my situation.
I’ve been locked up for life
For kissing the bosses wife
She fancied me, but I was oblivious
He plotted her demise and made me pay the price.
I am innocent! I’m an innocent man
Had my future planned
To my job I was devoted
I was hoping to be promoted
But my boss had other ideas
His plan of action to him was clear
Her love for him had gone
And with hm she didn’t belong
To stay would be wrong
And I was the one he blamed.
He resented me and eventually
Devised a cunning plan:
He wrote her many letters
Pretending he was me
He arranged a place to meet her
Where he knew I would be.
I went to my car
In the boot I found her body
And now my x-boss, who I call Mr. Sinister
Has made me now become
An innocent prisoner
He had the perfect story
For where he was at what time
He made it look like I was the one
Who committed the crime…
And now I’m a prisoner
Doing time!
