They Might Be Giants - Out Of Jail Lyrics






Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of Xenia
A stranger could have loved that town but she had to leave

I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear 'til Kitten's out of jail

It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk

I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear 'til Kitten's out of jail

Didn't want to be a slave
Just turned out that way

I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear 'til Kitten's out of jail

    Doesn’t everyone love John Henry? I love the album, and I have been practicing bass on snail shell for a long time

  2. M.... A....

    Possibly the most underrated song on John Henry? I love it, anyway.

  3. W.... S....

    The follow up song to Music Jail

    W.... S....

    KB Bandicoot Except that Music Jail was released in 2015 and this was in 1994.

    W.... S....

    It was a pun mah dude. Besides, they could've written music jail as a prequel to this one.

    W.... S....

    KB Bandicoot Understandable, have a good day.

  4. C.... ....

    That unleash of the organ around 1:29 is epic.

    C.... ....

    Chahol17 Epic Organ!

  5. M.... M....

    The older and more jaded i become the bigger TMBG fan i become...thank the universe for the two Johns

    M.... M....

    Listen to them album by album:  it fits a them in our lives.

  6. l.... s....

    an obvious comparison is fountains of wayne-but they seem out of gas lately so i came here for a pop fix in that area

  7. G.... R....

    I was thinking the same thing after having clicked on this song. Then I glanced down and saw your post.Blew my mind.
