Time and time I've run it through my head
All these years have found me dead
A lost soul, nothing more or less
I put my spirit to the test
Climb the walls to reach my freedom
To go beyond this prison life

Run so hard I've got to beat the clock
Again this time shut down the rock
I'm ready, ready to go
I'm ready, ready to go

Once again I've got to escape this place
In my cell no time to waste
It's 1964 all over again
I set my course, won't break or bend
I want to get out of the hell I'm in
I see the light time to begin
Alcatraz it is my hell one earth
A tortured soul for all it's woth
