    Lyrics
    The gin queens are free tonight of prior obligation
    Mascara's being purchased by the pound
    The liquor store line, it ain't been this long
    Since they laid Father Anastasias in the ground
    Everybody used to scream like fools all night
    Now on the main drag you can barely hear a sound
    Except from time to time the odd voice whispering
    How like a prison is this town

    The change maker's son hit a light post doing ninety
    His brother hit his cellmate doing time
    Their father hit the bottle when all the news hit him
    And the mama had to pay the speeding fine

    There's thoughts in the head of everyone standing
    That ain't no kind of substance ever going to drown
    Well these thoughts have words, these words I've heard, and that's
    How like a prison is this town

    We're all caged birds
    But some of us are singing
    Polishing the diamonds in the rough
    There's so much to be done
    But most of us are busy...
    Mopping up the mess of love

    I remember the bright lights, the lure of the city
    From my window I could see their holy glow
    I saw the glory of the Brooklyn Bridge
    As a child on a late night TV show

    Something always seemed to be happening there
    Pretty people wearing suits and fancy gowns
    Sitting right there in the Russian Tea Room saying
    How like a prison is this town
