Prisoner Lyrics


Roger Chapman Prisoner

Got me a mynah but it can't talk
I got a wolfhound but it don't walk
Got me a mountain, I can't see down
Turn me a corner, I can't see 'round

Wearing shackles (ball and chain)
Working suit (faded grey)
Souless boots (it's very plain)
Gathering darkness (day by day)
Want a number (please, refer)
Prisoner (prisoner)
Want a number (call return)
Prisoner
Got me a window, I can't see through
(Where is it ?) In my bathroom
Got me a firkin, ain't got no cup
Got me a crater, I can't fill up
I got a mirror that don't reflect
A rabbit's fool that don't protect, no

Wearing shackles (ball and chain)
Working suit (faded grey)
Souless boots (it's very plain)
Gathering darkness (day by day)
Want a number (please, refer)
Prisoner (prisoner)
Want a number (call return)
Prisoner

I got a halo that's prone to slip
Leans to the left on equality
Out there's an ocean of Leary junks
And bible belts and defrocked monks
I got a record and that's a crime
An enemy, by God, he's doing fine

Wearing shackles (ball and chain)
Working suit (faded grey)
Souless boots (it's very plain)
Gathering darkness (day by day)
Want a number (please, refer)
Prisoner (prisoner)
Want a number (call return) ..
Wearing shackles (ball and chain)
Working suit (faded grey)
Souless boots (it's very plain)
Gathering darkness (day by day)
Want a number (please, refer)
Prisoner (prisoner)
Want a number (call return)
