Nine months afloat in a well
Never see much past the shell
Never know heaven from hell
Got rid of my tail halfway through

Nothing to worry my head
Never's a word never said
Never know living from dead
And hopeful that I never do

Safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll hunker down
Safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll hunker down
Safe and sound
I'll stay here
Safe inside a cell

Soon I burst into this place
Chairman of the beauty and grace
They shoved it right back in my face
Got sent here to get rid of me

Nurse rings the thirty-year bell
Candles and white clientele
Back you go into your cell
You're better when we let you be

Safe and sound
You'll stay here
You'll settle down
Safe and sound
You'll stay here
You'll settle down
Safe and sound
You'll stay here
Safe inside your cell

Safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll settle down
Safe and sound
I'll stay here
I'll settle down
Safe and sound
I'll stay here
Safe inside a cell
