The Prisoner Songtext
von Parabelle

What a mess she said you were
She thought of self-control as a crutch, not essential
You fly like you fall, it′s too dark to notice a goal
I'm a traitor and you are my company
If this isn′t you, I'm insulting
Behind a salted scene line
'Cause when you wait for me

If I was a ransom, you′d be worth paying
If I was a colder cell, you′d be the prisoner

Don't close your eyes, don′t close your eyes
I'm in the midst of sight
I′ll never be the one you keep silent
Never seen you look so much brighter
You can dial the phone that's inside of me
A choke, you′re the victim, don't trust your eyes
You're certain to believe
In something you can′t see


If I was a ransom, you′d be worth paying
If I was a colder cell, you'd be the prisoner
If I had emotion, you′d be so taken
If I wasn't cold as hell, you′d be the prisoner
And if we must
We will adjust and make up stories we can tell

Here we are
Doing it all again
I want to know
What it's all again

Don′t close your eyes, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes, don′t close your eyes now
Try your best and everything′s a trap
And the clouds that you can hang from them
Pull the damn bullet from my gun
Let's be ourselves

If I was a ransom, you′d be worth paying
If I was a colder cell, you'd be the prisoner
If I had emotion, you′d be so taken
If I wasn't cold as hell, you′d be the prisoner
And if we must
We will adjust and make up stories we can tell
