The Wall - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (1st Show) - January 1968

There's a lotta strange men in cell block ten
 But the strangest of them all
 Was a friend of mine who spent his time
 Staring at the wall
 Staring at the wall
 As he looked at the wall, so strong and tall
 You could hear him softly curse
 Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
 But I'm gonna be the first
 I'm gonna be the first
 Well, the warden walked by and said, "Son don't try"
 I'd hate to see you fall
 For there is no doubt, they'll carry you out
 If you ever touch that wall
 If you ever touch that wall
 Well, a year went by since he - (and that's the truth)
 Well, a year's gone (them mean bastards, ain't they?)
 Well, a year's gone by since he made his try
 But I can still recall
 How hard he tried and the way he died
 But he never made that wall
 Never made that wall
 Well, there's never been a man ever shook this can
 But I know a man who tried
 The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan
 But I know it was suicide
 I know it was suicide
 Well, we would like to
 I'd like to do a couple of, of love songs here for you now
 One, you know the man's best friend is his dog
 If he's got nothin' else
 And, uh, this sing is about a dog
