Count Zero
a cell for salieri
Select language to translate this lyric
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
neverâs a word never said
never know living from dead
and hopeful that I never do
safe and sound
Iâll stay here
Iâll hunker down
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
âBack you go into your cell.
Youâre better when we let you be
safe and sound.
Youâll stay here.
Youâll settle down.
Safe inside your cell.â
safe and sound
Iâll stay here
Iâll settle down
safe inside a cell
