Pelican Bay Lyrics
Take me away, take me away
They're going to take me away
To Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
They don't have no fishing in the Pelican Bay
Room and board and free waits
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
An eye for an eye
A man for a man
You kill one of mine, I'm taking three of them
Strawberry wine is thicker than blood
When you're kicking back in the cut
And if the weak don't get you then Charlie will
If the life don't reach you then Satan will
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
They don't have no fishing in the Pelican Bay
Sure is dull when you count the days
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
Even the Lord will forget about us
Even the Lord will forget about us
Even the Lord will forget about us
Down on the Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
Take me to Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
They're going to take me away
To Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay, Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
Room and board and free waits
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
A man for a man
You kill one of mine, I'm taking three of them
Strawberry wine is thicker than blood
When you're kicking back in the cut
If the life don't reach you then Satan will
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
Sure is dull when you count the days
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay
Even the Lord will forget about us
Even the Lord will forget about us
Down on the Pelican Bay
Take me to Pelican Bay
They're going to take me to Pelican Bay

This song is about a prison in California called "Pelican Bay."
It's "free weights," by the way, not "waits."
These lyrics look wrong. I think it's:
"Room and board and free weights" "When you can't get back in the cut" "And if the pig don't get you then Charlie will"
I absolutely love her voice in this! It should have been on the actual album!
