The Prisoner Lyrics

One o'clock in the morning

He leaves without warning

How many times can they treat you like dirt?

Salt in wounds that already hurt

These nights can't do you good

But still, they numb the pain

But I guess, if you knew you could,

It wouldn't happen again

You're the prisoner

Oh-oh, the prisoner

Yeah, the prisoner

Mmm, mmm, the prisoner

Building your own cell

That knock on the door

How can you take any more?

The whispered nothings and the billets doux

The lipstick message that say, "I love you"

These nights can't do you good

But still, they numb the pain

But I guess, if you knew you could,

It wouldn't happen again

You're the prisoner

Oh-oh, the prisoner

Yeah, the prisoner

Mmm, mmm, the prisoner

Building your own cell

And it happens again

More emptiness and pain

You say you're just a victim of circumstances

Wearing a frown while the jester dances

These nights can't do you good

But still, they numb the pain

But I guess, if you knew you could,

It wouldn't happen again

You're the prisoner

Oh-oh, the prisoner

Yeah, the prisoner

Mmm, mmm, the prisoner

Building your own cell

Building your own hell
