Song | Prisoner of Love |
Artist | David Bowie |
Album | Tin Machine |
Written:D.Bowie/Tony Sales/Hunt Sales/Reeves Gabrels | |
Don't look back | |
Whatever it takes to save your life | |
I've believed I belonged to you for a long time | |
And my heart says no, no one but you | |
Like a rescue on a darkened street | |
Love walked into town | |
I was a victim of my own self-persecution | |
I'm a prisoner of love-but I'm coming up for air | |
CHORUS | |
Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you | |
The world and all that glitters more fool you | |
I'm such a hungry man that I beg you over and over and over and over | |
And I might take any highway to be there with you | |
Even the best men shiver in their beds | |
I'm loving you above everything I have | |
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square | |
Like a sermon on a blues guitar | |
Love walked into town | |
I was drowning so slowly | |
One step in front of your shadow | |
I'm a prisoner of love but I'm coming up for air | |
CHORUS | |
I smell the sickness sown in this city | |
It drives me to hide you, yea, even deceive you | |
I'm so afraid for you that | |
I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin | |
Even the best men shiver in their beds | |
I'm loving you above everything I have | |
I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square |
