Lyrics:
Or being by myself
Someday I will fall asleep
Excited to see what tomorrow brings
Someday I will finally believe
I am proud of who I am
No longer a prisoner
and here's the news
Another fatality caused by a family feud
Charged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother's gun
Made sister's fiancee's wedding never
Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free
Stop playing with my heart, finish
Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free
Stop playing with my heart, finish
enter final hold)
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapors, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Ripped open by metal explosion
Caught in barbed wire
Fireball
Bullet shock
Bayonet
Electricity
Shrapnel
Throbbing meat
Electronic
tamed by duty
They're all falling at your feet
Every foot in every face
Every cop's stop, who finds the grace
Every prisoner in the maze
Every hand that
it's still a long way to go
Whatever that means, I don't know
I'm a prisoner of wishes
Keeping a hold on a dream I want
In the short last daylight
Spirit me a game of stud
Stakes unscarred by limitation
Between a man named Gold and man named Mud
Club filled Gold with greedy vapors
Till his long,
so much we probably numb to it by now
After all, it's the American way right?
Home of the brave and free (It's America)
Free just to murder me
A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell (captured)
Oh yes, I'm touched by this show
Empty as a heartbeat, as the vast blue sky,
As the space between atoms, in the blood rushing by.
Empty as the vapor that congregates and dissipates.
Circles circling circles
Waiting for answers
Where are You now?
All I ask is for signals
Prayers fade like vapors
Drowned out within the clouds
I've
home, and that's for sure
She's not sitting down and cryin' on her suitcase
She has no second thoughts by the road
But she's got feelings that need
Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
No matter what I take, I feel the same
I've been bound by these shackles and chains
A man
much we probably numb to it by now
After all, it's the American way right?
Home of the brave and free (It's America)
Free just to murder me (land
a prisoner see, addiction is a disease
I gotta tell myself another lie
'Cause that's what helps to get me by
'Cause I'm in Hell
This is my goodbye,
breaking in
Will I make it out of here?
The way out's in my memories
I don't want to be the one to forget
I'm my own prisoner.
Trapped in this small cell
No
Sweaty evil stranger in the small rooms
Turned to vapor and waits
In 1964 this was the children's ward
Mental hospital within these walls
With prisoners
Heaven Help Me
(Cindy Walker)
Heaven help me for my heart has gone astray
I'm tornmented by my conscience night and day
I've become a prisoner
master took you travelling
Well, at least that's what you said
And now, do you come back to bring
Your prisoner wine and bread?
You met him at some
For all that he retains
By the harbour lights of Sydney
Or the Bora Bora moon
He recites his sad confession
To the seagulls and the loons
The jury read my verdict murder in the first degree
The judge said take that prisoner to the penitentiary
They put the handcuffs on me put me on the pullman
take that prisoner to the penitentiary
They put the handcuffs on me put me on the pullman train
Took me to Atlanta tied me to a ball and chain
