(Warren Zevon)

I can see me bound and gagged

Dragged behind the clownmobile

You can treat me like a dog

If you make me feel what others feel

You can train me, you can drain me

If you make me lose control

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o



All you have to do is ask

I'll be happy to say yes

I'll put on the creepy mask

If you'll grant me some forgetfulness

You can strain me, you can maim me

You can chain me to the floor

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o



And this loneliness-

Unbearable

And it all goes by so slow

I will stand in line

For the sacrifice

For the shamefaced love

Of the ugly vice

I will pay the price to see how far you'll go

Let me be your prisoner

Let me be your hostage-o



I can see me bound and gagged

Dragged behind the clownmobile

You can treat me like a dog

If you make me feel what others feel

You can sprain me, you can blame me

If you make me lose control

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o

I will be your prisoner

I will be your hostage-o
