Prisoner

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 ride 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 me

I tried so hard to change
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

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

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

I tried so hard to change
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

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

I tried so hard to change
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
