"Prison Sex" is a song by American rock band Tool. Frontman Maynard James Keenan wrote the lyrics.[1] The song was released as the second single from their debut studio album Undertow. The song uses a modified drop-B tuning. The track features an "anti-climax" coda,[2] in which memorable verses and choruses dissolve into an unrelated, quiet final section.
