Prisoner Lyrics
If I'm underneath the table
Then pour me another drink
Oh, I don't want to remember
I don't even wanna think
I'm a slave to my addiction
I'm a hazard to myself
On a fast track to Perdition
Oh, I'm heading straight to hell
When I throw up out your window
You should confiscate my key
I will drive you up the fucking wall
Is it too late to believe? Oh
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A God damn prisoner
I stood there in the spotlight
With the city at my feet
But I was a dead man walking
Nothing ever comes for free
So I moved on down to London
Where I traded in my soul
I could not fill my heart with
All those one night stands and gold
So throw me out your mum's house
I've been living there too long
Well she never liked me anyway
'Cause she knows I'm northern scum
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
I think my mind's on the brink
So I get high, so high and I drink
I suffered enough and my heart pounds when I think
?
Ay, and now I'm at the disco
Can't face the girls saying I'm the priso
Of course I'm on the brink
Look at me funny, then course I'm gonna swing
Carry on because I wanna say
Well pour me another drink
It always ends the same
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm a God damn prisoner
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
Then pour me another drink
Oh, I don't want to remember
I don't even wanna think
I'm a slave to my addiction
I'm a hazard to myself
On a fast track to Perdition
Oh, I'm heading straight to hell
You should confiscate my key
I will drive you up the fucking wall
Is it too late to believe? Oh
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A God damn prisoner
With the city at my feet
But I was a dead man walking
Nothing ever comes for free
So I moved on down to London
Where I traded in my soul
I could not fill my heart with
All those one night stands and gold
I've been living there too long
Well she never liked me anyway
'Cause she knows I'm northern scum
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
So I get high, so high and I drink
I suffered enough and my heart pounds when I think
?
Can't face the girls saying I'm the priso
Of course I'm on the brink
Look at me funny, then course I'm gonna swing
Carry on because I wanna say
Well pour me another drink
It always ends the same
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm a God damn prisoner
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or I'm a God damn prisoner
