Regina Spektor - Prisoners Lyrics
All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling and
For the bars to somehow magically break
That a thousand bucks can't fix
That a thousand arms can't hold down
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with
Cusses like cavemen - your momma was here
But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
With the people all dead.
Then none of this shit would have ever gone down
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with
Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little
And someday I will remember
Someday I will remember
Someday I will remember

Regina Spektor Prisoners Comments
Thank you Smiles. Thank you Regina. You are absolutely my favorite artist and it baffles me people look at me weird because im a rapper with face tats and gold teeth. But have you ever done a drive by to Loveology. Lmao
This song! You can feel the desperation and dehumanizing effect of life spent locked up. (Not first hand, of course but still). _Shiver_
regina spektor is an angle who fe els our p ai n
Ehta loquisimo tío
🍁🌺👌
ashika gracelyn yo mama was here
I still love this song. Remembered every word.
I forgot how this song was called all I remembered was my favorite part which is "uh uh uh uh uh"😂

I don't know why this wasn't the theme song for orange is the new black
because the show isnt about a super max prison?
I love this song so much
I like all of her songs, but I think this is my all-times-favorite. Roughsweet und beautiful.

I love this song and I love Regina. The first song I heard from her was Firewood, the second was All the Rowboats.
Love <3
Я думаю, что это первая песня, я слышал от нее, я влюбился в звук фортепиано и ее голоса
I love this song!!!!!
kafer310 yep
I think it's kind of ironic that she wrote this song and then 11 years later she makes "You've Got Time" for Orange is The New Black.
I didn't put that together lol I love regina :)
I thought of that too! I was like, "they used a Regina Spektor song, but not Prisoners??" the first time I heard it.
Had the exact same thought.
damn i see you every regina spektor video
possibly my favorite Regina song. so flipping amazing.
Lawl her voice is so funny..I wonder if she was intoxicated or maybe having alot of fun
Ouch 아리 hey now! Her voice is great! She’s one of the most talented singer-songwriters out there.
You are rude
actually thats pretty probable! She recorded this on christmas, and it was her first take!
My girlfriend and her sister did a cover of this song. They love a lot of Regina Spektor songs but this was one of there more favorite songs. They are new to YouTube but if anyone wanted to check it out it would be a lot to them. Thank you if you do. Like and sub if you can..
KrystynandMegan is there channel.
Down in my cell, with mermaids and swallows, and though I do swallow- wait, what?
omg love this!!!
how many times have i listened to this song... oh god
Looooovve her sooooo much - the emotions I feel when listening to this song or other songs of hers are of greatness - the universe manifested her into being for us to experience and I feel so grateful and fortunate for that experience
YO MAMMA WAS HEERRREE
i literally just noticed that
courtneyrishere.blogspot.ca/
anyone else notice the title is 'Regina Spketor' not Spektor?
My emotions are mixed up when I listen to this song - the slightest change in her voice makes me feel different. Very few singers can do that and I love her for it -3 Respekt!! ^^
You can dance to this. Actually I find it a lot easier to move to this than to, let's say, dubstep ... No offence to dubstep fans, though :) (Sorry if I took what you said the wrong way :s , just wanted to say what's on my mind )
this is so inspiring
We have all been prisoners of our own minds. You don't have to reside in the reality that other tell you you are in. Free you minds.Love and thank you thank you. Nameste.
"in playlist 'dance music'"
iTunes!!! Y u no have this song?!?!
YO MAMMA WAS HERE
Department of Eagles brought me here, Thumbs up!
This is wonderfully sad. After i heard this song i constantly imagined myself locked up in a cell my whole life. I always force myself to remember that the people with life sentances are mostly rapists and killers. Respekt
1:20-1:31 <3
With cusses like cave men, to mama was here
this fits so well with Apres Moi
I loooooved singing along to this!
1:14 I love that part lol
This song is so great :)
I wanna watch this played live so bad, just so i can see her clap her hands and go "uh uh uh uh uh uh"
It's so amazing that this song is only her voice and a piano... Now THAT'S talent.
Your Moms face was here. I rock your Mom
I just found this. So beautiful. I want to cry.
I fall head-over-heels in love with her every new song I find.
2:36 <3
2 PEOPLE ARE DEAF
I was just singing this in the shower
love love love it :P
yo mama was heaaa
0:53 "brrrreak..."
: )
How can she be so cute and so scary at the same time?
She's like the love child of Tom Waits and a Fallen Angel.
One of the best of RegiSpek.
