Prisoner Lyrics

I'm the jailer, and who are you?

There are better things I have to do

I love watching; it's like a zoo

You should learn to dance on cue

I am the jailer and I have the key

You're here because you turned on me

I'd let you out, but if you go free

You're between the devil and the great blue sea

I know old friend that you are new

But who said the sky was ever blue?

The sky is red, and the sailor makes do

You'll never see it again, adieu

I am the jailer and I have the key

You're here because you turned on me

I'd let you out, but if you go free

You're between the devil and the great blue sea

It's my fault for not casting the first stone

You were in a glass house when your cover was blown

Who put the knife in my back was well-known

It's too late now to atone

I'm leaving you here in you cell alone

Practice you act, or we'll have to postpone

I had the previous jailer overthrown

But wrath just isn't in your bones

My dear, make yourself at home

Make yourself at home
