Band on the run

Stuck inside these far walls
sent inside forever
never seeing no one nice again
like you, mama, you, mama, you

If I ever get out of here
thought of giving it all away
to a registered charity
all I need is a pint a day
if I ever get out of here
(if we ever get out of here)

Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
as we fell into the sun
and the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun

Band on the run, band on the run
and the jailor man and Sailor Sam
were searching everyone
for the band on the run, band on the run

Well the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
seeing no one else had come
and a bell was ringing in the village square
for the rabbits on the run

Band on the run, band on the run
and the jailor man and Sailor Sam
were searching everyone
for the band on the run, band on the run

Well the night was falling as the desert world
began to settle down
in the town they're searching for us everywhere
'cause we never will be found

Band on the run, band on the run
and the country judge who held a grudge
will search for evermore
for the band on the run, band on the run
