Warren Zevon — Hostage-O

[Verse 1] I can see me bound and gagged Dragged behind the clown mobile You can treat me like a dog If you make me feel what others feel [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] I can see me bound and gagged Dragged behind the clown mobile You can treat me like a dog If you make me feel what others feel [Chorus] 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
