I've been hanging around for two years
Toiling, to bleeding
In this prison
I didn't shoot the bookseller's wife
I was just there by chance
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
You're behind bars
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
We don't give much of your skin
I didn't understand when the lawyer told me
Boy, it's going to cost you dearly
I just wanted a book worth 20 bucks
"The Revenge of the Cannibal Killer"
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
You're behind bars
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
We don't give much of your skin
Guess who's coming to see me on Saturday evening
Having a drink, the bookseller
With his new wife
He says he's happy with me, I don't understand
I haven't paid what I owe him
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
You're behind bars
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
We don't give much of your skin
You've sank to the bottom Joe
You're behind bars
You've sunk to the bottom Joe
We don't give much of your skin
