This is one of my finest songs. I play the rhythm and the bass, the lead guitar is courtesy of Mr. Rob Edwards.

When I get out of this jail they locked me in for crimes I didn't commit,
I'll throw a party for my friends of dazzling beauty and sharp wit.
Red wine will flow like water, handed out by naked servant girls.
Hyperboreans will dance adorned with emeralds and pearls.
  
When I get out. 
When I get out.

To pass the time I decorate the dirty walls of my cell. 
I paint strange animals and scenery from both heaven and hell.
And when they come for me, I greet them with my beatific smile.
They hate me even more for that and make me run an extra mile.

My mind goes lots of places, but the one it visits most oft
Is covered during daylight, but at night it's bare, and warm, and soft.
Sometimes I wander there for hours and forget the way back to my cell.
Or fall asleep there and explore it in my dreams as well.

When I get out of this jail I'll try my hand at different things.
I'll buy myself an island and invite my fellow former kings.
I'll write amazing plays, make silly movies, compose hymns about
How great it feels when you are finally out. 

When I get out...
