The Prisoner's Escape Lyrics

An act of desperation,
And I'm on the streets again.
The laws of God are not for me,
I've killed too many men.
Pain and fear have drove me here,
The hounds are getting close.
If I don't run they'll drag me back,
To test the hangman's noose.
They look for me all through the night.
The bells have just struck ten.
The laws of God are not for me,
I know I'll kill again.
An act of desperation,
And I'm on the streets again.
The laws of God are not for me,
I've killed too many men.
Pain and fear have drove me here,
The hounds are getting close.
If I don't run they'll drag me back,
To test the hangman's noose.
