Prisoner

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I'm underneath the table Then pour me another drink Oh, I don't want to remember I don't even want to 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 want to love But he won't let me go Loosen up my chains Or I'm a condemned prisoner [Verse 2] I was stood there in the spotlight With this 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 [Pre-Chorus] So throw me out your mom's house I've been living there too long Well she never liked me anyway Cause she knows I'm northern scum [Chorus] 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 condemned prisoner [Bridge] I think my minds on the blink So I get high, so high and I drink I suffered enough of the heart palps when I think Discovered it up at the bar 9 drinks in Now I'm at the disco, convinced the girls think I'm the bizzo Course I'm on the brink Looking at me funny then course I'm gonna swing Karaoke? Course I wanna sing Or pour me another drink It always ends the same Or I'm a condemned prisoner [Chorus] 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 condemned prisoner
